How to check the status of an amended return

pkboucher801 · ‎May 14, 2021

TurboTax told me not to e-file the amended return, but to mail it in, which I did on April 20, 2021.

As I look over https://sa.www4.irs.gov/icce-core/load/gettrans/pages/availableTranscripts.xhtml I can find no mention of my amended return in the Record of Account Transcript. When should I expect it to be mentioned there? Or is there some better way to check the status?

@pkboucher801 It may be weeks or even months before you see anything about the amended return. In normal times it takes the IRS about four months to process an amended return. Now during the pandemic it is taking six months or more. Eventually you will be able to see something on this site:
