Did you properly complete the amendment process mail in the signed 1040X form ?
I'm not sure what that is, I e-filed it. Now on the main page it just says federal and state are accepted but nothing specific.
Actually I'm pretty sure it was completed properly, I had to pay $120 for the premium to amend it.
an amended can not be e-filed as of today. It must be mailed in. However, the IRS is working on allowing e-filing of amended returns. When and how is up in the air as of now.
You should *wait* until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. (If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time). In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment – a sticky process that can take a year or more).
-- Then you can start the amend process.
It is suggested that it be mailed certified with return receipt (or other tracking service) to verify that the IRS receives it. That is the only proof of mailing that the IRS will accept.
-- Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing.
***************************************NOTE***********************************************
Amended returns can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) to process in normal times but due the the Corona virus shutdown the IRS is not even opening mailed returns at this time and just storing them so the 16 weeks will not even start until the IRS returns to normal - whenever that will be - and there will be a huge backup of mail.
