    @AliceR No one at TT can answer that.   Only the IRS can tell you.   They will mail a check if you are getting a refund for an amended return so watch your mailbox and make sure you open all mail.  Do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it.  They mail a check by first class mail without tracking.

    @Tiara Scott -  the IRS is woefullybacklogged.  assume that from the time you submitted the amendment, it'll be 9-12 months until the IRS processes it.  Here is what the IRS website states: 

    (note that the IRS states "more that 20 weeks" with no upper limit;

     

     

    Status of Processing Form 1040-X, Amended Individual Tax Return: As of July 2, 2022, we had 2 million unprocessed Forms 1040-X. We are processing these returns in the order received and are working hard to get through the inventory. The current timeframe can be more than 20 weeks instead of up to 16. Please don't file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your amended return. Taxpayers should continue to check Where's My Amended Return? for the most up to date processing status available.

    I received a letter stating amount of my amended return refund on 11/28/22. Letter indicated check would be received in 2-3 weeks. As of 01/30/23 still no check. Is this normal? Would calling IRS be fruitful?

    Turbo Tax will not have the status of your amended return. You can visit the IRS website for more information on your amended return status.

    I think Adjusted means the amended return was processed and adjusted the original return.  So you are getting the refund on the amended return or need to pay a tax due.

     

    look at the 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 21 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.

    If you still need assistance you can contact the IRS.
    How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

    My ammended return was mailed in 3/2023. (Its now  17 month's later) Was told by the IRS on the phone, (and actually making an appointment at IRS office) t can take up to 2 years to receive a refund!!  Is this true?  Is our federal government this efficient? Now I call ever 2 months. Keep getting a response of "you should receive a check next month" , (have heard this like 3 times)  can I just deduct this refund from next year's income?  Because I seriously doubt I will ever get it.

    No, you cannot just deduct it or enter anything about it on your next tax return or next tax due amount.    There is no way to do that on a tax return form. Each tax year is separate.   Sorry you are going through so much aggravation with the IRS over your amended return.  Only the IRS can tell you what they are doing with your return.

    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 3 for all other inquiries
    It should then transfer you to an agent.
