Admend returns

An amended return must be prepared on a Form 1040X which can only be printed, signed and mailed--it cannot be e-filed.  It takes 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  If you are getting a refund, the IRS mails a check to the address on your return.

It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
