anyone received refund yet?

[ken-w]

I e-filed my taxes in mid feb: fed and ny for tax due and refund respectively. And in very early march I sent in an amendment for incremental tax refund and tax due from fed and ny.

Fed and NY promptly debited my bank for what I owed but I have yet to receive my refunds.  Nor can I check the refund status even though I submitted the correct information requested.  

Is the delay caused for the shutdown?  Anyone else got their refund already?

Amended returns must be mailed in and will take 16 weeks or more to process. Probably longer due to this situation as no paper returns of any kind are being processed at this time.  You can check the IRS website under the where's my amended return tab to check on the progress of the federal return.
