We cannot see your return so we do not know if you amended correctly.  An amended return must be prepared on a Form 1040X which can only be printed, signed and mailed.  It cannot be e-filed.  You should not amend your tax return until your original return has been fully processed.

 

If you added income when you amended then it is quite possible for you to owe.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

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