sometimes you will get the wrong advice from the IRS phone-call agent.
However if the IRS said your 1040 is on hold waiting for 1040-X,
you still have to assume you will get that refund and file 1040-X accordingly.

if the IRS said your 1040 is on hold waiting for 1040-X, I'd call again and get a confirmation of that from a different agent.
