Okay so I amended my refund because i received two more w-2s in the mail, it's not showing any changes in my return. Do I have to mail my amended refund or is it already on its way?

Amending for 2015 will not be finalized until mid-February. See this TurboTax support FAQ on amending a tax return. It will be updated as the 1040X becomes available -https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed

Also note:

  • An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed.  
  • The IRS will take 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
  • Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
  • 3 weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? site.

Yes, you must file amended returns using paper forms and mail it to the appropriate agency.
