Will my amended return ever come? It's been since May since I filed an amended tax return. The website to find my taxes says take action now. How can I get ahold of help?

Amended return for itc was accepted back in May. It is now November and I can't find any help to see why I haven't received it!

Only the IRS controls when and if a tax refund is Approved and Sent.

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.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

Then press 4 for all other inquiries.

It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or you can contact your local IRS office. See this IRS website for local IRS offices - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-Your-Local-IRS-Office-1 or call 1-844-545-5640 to set up an appointment

Or you may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area. See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

@userjessicasibley88 - amendments are taking at least 6 months to process (which is better than it was back in the summer when the backlog was 12 months).

I'd sit tight as your amendment is probably just now getting to the top of the pile.
