Did you wait until your original tax  return was processed before you filed the amended tax return?  Fully processed means that you have receive your refund or your balance due is deducted from your account.    It generally takes 8 to 16 weeks to process an amended tax return (Form 1040-X).   Refer to the IRS website Where’s My Amended Return? for more information.

you're saying you filed a 1041 that was a duplicate(?) of the 1041 the CPA filed. Did both filings use the same EIN/TIN number? did moth reflect exactly the same items on the 1041?  if so, I would do nothing. Wait to see if the IRS sends a notice and respond accordingly. if different EIN/TIN or amounts which one is correct? the incorrect one would need an amended return showing all zeros for amounts. If there are differing amounts between the two, then both need amending - one all zero's and the other reporting the correct amounts using the correct EIN.  

It depends on when you choose to have it debited.   If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return.  It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment.  If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:    TurboTax Online  In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.

If someone is a licensed/ordained clergy and works for a ministry non-profit in a clergy-related role (but they do not work for a church), can they receive a housing allowance as long as their employer gives them a letter that they have designated a portion of their salary as a housing allowance? (like the jail chaplain example being discussed)

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst
