Hi Everyone, I know it says 16weeks for a amended tax return to be completed. Does it really take that long or does anyone know if it could be earlier or a round about.

It can be less, or it can be more. 16 weeks is about average.

Expect it to be at least 16 weeks, and be very pleasantly surprised if it is less.  i would suggest not holding your breath at the 16 week point.

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.
