How do I get the status of my amended federal return

An amended return can only be filed by mail. It cannot be e-filed. The normal processing time for an amended return is up to 16 weeks from when the IRS receives it. Starting about 3 weeks after you mailed it you can check the status at the following link on the IRS web site.
