Amending my 2024 California 1098-T form

[lorace98]

Back in February, I did my taxes as usual, thinking I had everything. Then, a 2024 1098-T form came in the mail after and as soon as amending options were opened, I amended my form after my first returns were already processed and accepted and sent. I followed the instructions on TurboTax and saw it was accepted and that I owed about $400+. I set it up so that could be taken from my savings when it was ready. I have been periodically checking for any updates to the amended status on the IRS site and it has been nearly 2 months. Tax day is coming up and I'm getting worried. Is there any chance my form hasn't been properly processed or that processing is delayed somehow? My partner amended his taxes a week ago and just got the money he owed taken today. So please let me know.

Check Where’s My Amended Return? to verify that you are being processed. If your return is not showing as accepted or in process, it wasn't filed. Returns are accepted into the system and then processed.
