If you completed the amendment process in the program and you did NOT get a 1040X in the PDF  then you did not do it correctly.  Wait until the IRS fully processes the original return and then complete the amendment process again.  At this late date you will have to print, ink sign and mail in the amendment which will take at least 6 months to process ... possibly much longer.

I had to add my kids ITIN number, its reflecting in finally generated form, however TurboTax is still generating 1040 thinking that I have not mailed it yet, since its not aware that I had mailed and got partial refund as well from IRS.

So the real question is how will TurboTax return status will change from "Ready to mail" to accepted, so If I amend later it will generate 1040X not 1040.

'ready to mail' is the final status for a return you chose to mail.

Look in the "List of Forms" to see if 1040-X has been generated.

Not having used Online to amend, I can't tell you the exact sequence to print it.
