You amended only hours after e-filing? Sorry---you should wait for your original return to be fully processed before you amend. Amended returns are processed differently and are currently taking more than six months to be processed. You are going to be waiting for awhile. And.....putting an amended return into the system at the same time as the original may cause extra confusion and delay. Do not send in anything else. Just WAIT.
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:
