I filed my taxes in January 2019 I got a tax advocate because I was not hearing anything from the IRS they told me to amend my return which shows on the site that they received it April 20th 2020 as of January 2020 I just found out they sent my amended return back to me I do not know why yet but if it is for a signature about how long should I wait to get my return back this time and since I have a tax advocate will I get it back quicker
Not necessarily. The IRS is so "backlogged" given the year that 2020 was due to Covid. A tax advocate will not be able to guarantee that you will get confirmation any quicker than if you do not use one. I know of people who amended theirs online last March 2020 and the IRS site is still listing the return as in "pending" status.
The IRS told me that u can only amend your taxes on paper....and today I spoke to the IRS and they told me that having a tax advocate is the best thing that they will help me quicker.....also the irs in the whole year never told me to amend my taxes I would still not know that it needed to be done if it wasn't for a tax advocate ..I had messed up my amended return so I was wondering what the next step will be
