It is possible that the state caught the error and that is the reason your return has not yet been processed. It is not a good idea to file the amended return prior to your return being processed. It is possible that the amended return got matched to your original return and is creating a hold up which may cause it to take the 4 to 6 months for the state to process your return since they have the amended return.
The best way to get the most accurate answer is to us CA Where's My Refund or call the CA FTB to see what is happening with your return.
