    @Amaurymartinez085 TurboTax does not have any information about your amended return.   If the IRS "Where's my amended return" site says your refund has been sent, then watch your mailbox.   When you get a refund for an amended federal tax return, the IRS mails a check to the address on your tax return.   It will not be a direct deposit.

    You experts are not being very clear. I know how to file for an amended return, just not how long the experts know by now. Have any of your customers received a check?

    @Cgray2424 You have been posting some short statements since at least May, but your issue has never been fully explained.   Are you still trying to find out about your 2019 federal refund or are your posts about 2020?   In one of your posts you said you got a letter from the IRS--but not what it said, in another post you mentioned the state seized your state refund....now you are mentioning an amended return......

     

    Please explain specifically what is going on so someone can understand and possibly help.

    TurboTax cannot legally contact the IRS on your behalf.  TurboTax is a software company which sells tax preparation software.  It is not a paid tax professional such as a CPA, EA or Tax Attorney.

    Does the IRS website for the status of an amended tax return indicate the refund was issued? - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

    If so, the refund would have been mailed as a check to the address on the amended tax return.

    Since you have not received the refund check go to this IRS website to report a lost tax refund - https://www.irs.gov/faqs/irs-procedures/refund-inquiries/refund-inquiries-0

     

    Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
    When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
    So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
    Then press 3 "for all other questions."
    Then press 2 "for all other questions."
    - When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
    - After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

    Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
    Then press 4 for all other inquiries
    It should then transfer you to an agent.

    It’s not accurate at all. Mine said completed on .9/10 however looking at transcripts and talking with irs it was just sent for processing 9/14   Filed in April.  Talked to them mid oct n said it had yET to be assigned to anyone and I should give another 30 days. Still no movement on transcript and no check. Hope this helps

    Ok so the IRS advocate stated my amended refund had been mailed out dec 6,2021’an he told me the amount. An it can take up

    to ten days for me for me to get it in the mail

    an he looked it up a again an

    confirmed the amount an stated it has been mailed out ! Then today I looked on irs account 

    online  where my amended refund it finally showed received,adjusted ?? But how can it be adjusted when it had already been

    in the mail?

    Those tools are not accurate. Mine has said that since September. Your best bet is to pull your transcripts for verification. As mine says adjusted, they received in APRIL, sent for processing in September n still nothing n no more movement since September, yet tool states processed. Pull your transcript instead

    IRS received my amended return on 5/20/21 it is now 12/12/21 and still has not been processed. When I call and sit on the phone waiting for almost 1 hour all I get is we apologize check back again in 30 days.🙎

    Filed my paper 2019 1040X (electronic wasn't allowed at the time) on August 22, 2020.  Received by IRS on September 1, 2020.  FINALLY noted as Adjusted as of December 10, 2021...over 15 months later.  It is still unclear whether my refund will be direct-deposited or by check.

    After 12 months (received May 2021), I just received a change in status to adjusted. I have no idea when that will translate to a check in the mail (completed status). But, at least it was finally processed after 12 months. Does anyone know how long it takes to go from adjusted to completed? THX!
