Will I receive 2 payments/refunds - one for the initial amt and then a second for the amended amt? Do I need to mail via US MAIL my amended return to the IRS?

I amended my tax return and I it says I am to be refunded an additional $163.00.  My original refund (the day before) was for $1,577.00. Will I receive 2 payments/refunds - one for the initial $1,577.00 and then a second for the amended $163.00?  Also, do I need to mail via US MAIL my amended return to the IRS?

An amended return MUST be mailed.  You cannot e-file an amended return.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 2-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.

Wait about 3 weeks and you can check the status of your amended return:
