I received a letter from the irs stating I need to send in form 1095A because my husband received marketplace insurance for 2 months early in the year. I amended the return with that form. How long before the irs accepts the amendment and process my return?

When you mail Form 1040-X you should include the following forms:

The new (amended) Form 1040
Any forms or schedules that were added or changed as a result of preparing the amendment

It takes the IRS up to 16 weeks to process amended returns. Also, depending on whether the changes affect your numbers, you may also be required to file an amended return with your state.
