amended return E-filled

I filed my return with TurboTax and my federal return was accepted and the IRS sent the money after 21 days but my Walmart money card couldn't receive the money so I filed amended return and changed the direct deposit and the the amended return was accepted again, so when am i getting my refund?

Not sure what you think you did, but you cannot change the way you receive your refund after you file your tax return. The IRS does not allow it

You cannot change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted. The IRS does not allow it.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected. If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS. Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return. Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

When you will get your refund depends on how long it takes the IRS to process it. Most likely, you’ll get your refund long before IRS sees your amended tax return.

As Tax Champ xmasbaby0 says, if IRS is unable to make an electronic deposit, they will send a paper check to the address listed on your tax return.

Amended returns take 16 weeks (four months) to process.
