I amended my 2020 return on the turbo tax website then printed and mailed the return to the IRS on September 23rd, 2021 and it has been over 30 weeks. The IRS said the information is still unavailable. Why is it taking so long to hear about my return. Should I resend my return to the IRS using certified mail. I believe they never received my return

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

@Mollysbaby - DO NOT RESEND - figure the IRS is running 9-12 months backlogged for amendments (I had mine clear in May and it was 12 months)
