2024 Amended return accepted or not

I realized I had made a mistake on my 2024 return after it had been e-filed and accepted. I went in and made an amendment, putting in the correct information. When I look at the "check e-file status" for the amended return, it says that it has been accepted. When I printed the return, the cover sheet said, "File instructions for our 2024 federal amended tax return by mail." I am confused. Was it accepted, or do I need to file by mail?

If you are seeing it says your amended return has been accepted on the Where's My Amended Return on the IRS site, then that would mean you shouldn't mail anything.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
