Amended tax returns for the past two years, how would I find out status on the amends?

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 2-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.

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

Three weeks after you've mailed your amended returns you can start tracking its status using the IRS "Where's My Amended Return?" tool or by calling their automated number 1-866-464-2050.

Do keep in mind, it can take 12-16 weeks for your amended returns to be processed.
