After you file

And.....IF you are getting a refund for the amended return ----it will be in the form of a check the IRS will mail to you.   The IRS does not make direct deposits when you get a refund for an amended return.   Expect it to take up to a year for the IRS to process your amended return and send that check.   Do not expect quick results from amending.
