What does this mean? (2019 Transcript)

I had to amend my 2019 return over a year ago, and just got this message, what does all of this mean?

 

Thanks!

 

For amended returns, the IRS only issues checks, is the 27th the date they mailed? Printed? The check, or what?

 

Thanks

    The meanings of the codes are shown below.  The IRS has so many codes and it can be difficult to decipher.

     

    An IRS Code 971 indicates that the IRS has sent you a second notice to let you know the review has concluded. 

     

    An IRS Code 846 indicates that the IRS has finished processing your return and approved a refund on your tax return. This means the steps are in place to prepare and send your refund from your amended return. It is not necessarily the actual date the check was printed and mailed.

     

    An IRS Code 776 indicates you will see negative entries to signify the payment back to the IRS.

    Thanks so much, so (I know you're not magical, lol) but from your experience how long after that date do customers/people that you are aware of usually receive their refund(s) via US MAIL?
