I amended my return after it was accepted and had to purchase deluxe version to do so. I haven’t been notified amended tax has been sent or accepted. Why not?

Amended returns cannot be e-filed.  The only way to amend a return is to prepare a Form 1040X which you have to print, sign and mail.

 It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
