It's mid-December.

Amended return filed in May suddenly appeared under "Where's My Amended return"

status : not processed.

But, why does "Where's my amended Return"
tell me to Take Action !
namely to call some IRS phone number?
My return has not been processed yet.
What's the point ?

Has anyone called the number ?

Not A Product Question

It has been taking many months for the IRS to process amended returns, which piled up in trailers during the pandemic. Now that you are finally seeing something on the IRS site, if it tells you to call a phone number--DO that. TurboTax receives no information from the IRS after you file your return, so no one at TT knows why the IRS wants you to call.

The thing is, that number is always there with instructions to call no matter what.

My return also says to take action but anytime you call you cannot get through to a person. Very frustrating. I don't know what else to do. I don't know with it saying take action if that is because there is an issue or just because it is taking so long but it should say "delayed" if it's on their end.

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

You probably don't need to do anything but if there is a phone number to call you can try to call it. Otherwise the IRS will send you a notice in the mail if you really need to do something more.
