How can I check the status of my amended tax return. I did an amendment on TurboTax? Will the difference be direct deposited to my account or will they mail me a check for the difference?
Just trying to check the status on my amendment. Thank u

How do I know if my amended return was accepted? I filed the amended form with Turbo 8 days ago and the only one I can see is the first one I filed not the amended form. Anybody know how I can find out if the amended form was accepted?

Do these bots even read. OOP DUH. Not one of them even attempted to answer the questions. Shameful.
I think someone got it right. go to the app and it will indicate accepted. Somewhere, I lost it, saw it somewhere.
@molenatasha This thread is several years old--and the original topic was about amended returns. Since you chose to post your question in this thread, assuming you amended a tax return by sending a Form 1040X to fix some sort of mistake made on your original return:
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

I understand delays because of employee shortage and covid, but checking on amended federal return status is ridiculous. 1) The link takes you to Official Government" site. 2) The IRS site says about amended returns that it may take 16 weeks, but they are running late and it could take 20 weeks. Well, it's been 6 months and 1 week for me and I only know it was accepted and being processed according to Turbotax. Here I am at 27 weeks, and IRS has the wrong status link? WTH? If I owed them money, they'd be here asap and confiscating everything I own.

I'm reading here my 2021 amended form was accepted March 10, 2022. It's October 13th. Hello? There is no way to find out from IRS. The phone number is useless. It only tells me what already know. It was accepted, but where is my money? The link on their site directs you to a private government page. So, how do I know when I'll get it? I don't remember adding my routing and account numbers on the amended return. What's the story? Is it being mailed? Is it being direct deposited? It's 7 months. No info. Come on. Seven months. If I was pregnant, I'd be almost full-term. WTH? Pathetic. I am tempted to file it again. Did the check get lost in the mail? Is it being direct deposited? What's up? Crystal balls don't work. We need answers.

Yes. I entered the "government only" button. Okay, so they are issued by check.
I think it's a coincidence that the link shows it was "adjusted" today, hmm, after I clicked on the link? What a coincidence. I'm looking for my money and I had to wake them up? Now, they say it will take 3 more weeks to explain the adjustment. It was accepted 7 months ago. What's to adjust? Pathetic. I want to be advised or alerted when it's been processed and then mailed. The post office is another laugh in getting our mail in the right mailbox.
The IRS is notorious for keeping us in the dark. They'd be at our doorstep in 24 hours for money we owe them.
