How to check the status of amended tax?

I received the State refund but I got the mail from IRS to submit additional forms (8962 and 1095-A). 

I sent them at the end of March but still didn't get any notice/refund. 

I amended the tax with those forms added in at the end of March and sent the amended tax at the beginning of April, which has been about 6weeks ago. 

the IRS website says that the status of amended tax will be available after 3weeks but I don't understand why I don't get any status. I tried to call IRS a couple of times but they don't have live agent to help due to this pandemic situation.

It doesn't matter if it takes longer, but I'm just worried that if my mail got delivered and they got it because there is no way for me to check the status. Should I send another one with a tracking number?

If you just submitted form 8962, this was not an amendment.

 

The online link is your best option to track your refund.  I have attached a link with more answers from the IRS as to why your refund may be taking longer to process.

There is a delay in processing the returns as the IRS is not processing paper returns at the moment due to Covid-19 and social distancing policies in effect.

I actually amended the tax from the turbo tax because I thought I have to do it. 

I submitted 8962 and 1095-A with the IRS letter AND submitted a whole amended tax form as the instruction indicated for amended tax. 

Is there any way that I can check if IRS received it or not? 

In that way I can send it again if they didn't get it.
