Amended Taxes

I sent in my amended tax return. How will I know that it has been received and when will I get the amended amount?

Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.

Did you mail in a Form 1040X--that is the only way to amend a tax return.

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