What tax year did you amend? If you "amended" a 2021 return then you did that too soon, since you should wait for the original return to be fully processed before amending. If you amended for 2020 or an earlier year, you had to file the amended return by mail, and that can take a very long time for processing.
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 to nine 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:
