How long does it take to receive an amended refund

[NCperson]

@tbbenard  just because it was "issued" on the 11th, doesn't mean it was mailed on the 11th.  Watch for a plain evelope in the mail over the next week or so.

@tbbenard Your check was issued on the 11th---and today is only the 13th.    It can take longer than that for the envelope to arrive via the U.S. mail system.   It will come via first class mail without tracking so just keep watching the mailbox.   Open all mail--do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it.

How long after amend tax day complete would it take to receive 

[xmasbaby0]

@Shaneasm25 It takes the IRS four to six months to process an amended return and send the refund--sometimes longer.
