I submitted my original tax return via e-file on TurboTax. The return was accepted by the IRS on 2/3/23. I overlooked some details and had to amend my return on 2/17/23. On the TurboTax website it says my Amended Return e-file was accepted. However, when checking the Where's My Amended Return on the IRS website, nothing shows and it's been well past three weeks. There's also no record on the IRS automated system or nothing on IRS transcript site (just the original return info).
TurboTax says e-file was accepted but should I resubmit? It's been well past three weeks since I amended.
@Ndrwrly2 Are you sure you clicked on the Amend Button and prepared an amended return? Not sure if the Amended return was available in early February. If you did file an amended return, amended returns can take allot longer than the 3 weeks to show on the IRS website, this time of year. Your original return is processed separately from your amended return. This time a year it can take 3 to 6 months for the IRS to process an amended return.
If your amended return says it was accepted, do not re-file your return. You would need to keep checking the IRS website, Where's My Amended Return.

I am skeptical that you actually amended on February 17. As I recall, the 1040X needed to amend 2022 was not yet available that early in February. You might just be seeing the "accepted" message from your original tax return. If you look at the returns in your account, do you actually see a 1040
X
?Yes, it says e-file accepted and the 1040X is viewable via PDF
a submitted 1040-X should appear in "Where's my Amended Return" as "Received snd bring processed" within three weeks.
when e-Filed it should only be a few days.
Something is not right.
The current processing time is more than 20 weeks for both paper and electronically filed amended returns. See our operations page for more information about processing timeframes.
Additionally, calling the IRS will not speed up return processing. Our phone and walk-in representatives can only research the status of your amended return 20 weeks or more after you've mailed it; or if Where's My Amended Return? itself has directed you to contact us.
