The IRS wait time for an amended return is 16-18 weeks in normal years.  Currently the wait time is 6 to 12 months for a federal amended tax return.

 

Go to this IRS website for the status of an amended tax return - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

    @aysaez TurboTax gets no information after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows about your refund.  If you want to call the IRS:

     

    To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

    Listen to each menu before making the selection.

    First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

    Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

    Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

    Then press 3 "for all other questions."

    Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
