I completed my amended return, sent state by mail and federal electronically, it says my amendment is in progress, is it being processed? Or have I made an error?

[user803532481]

I’ve already completed both state and federal returns and sent them the respective ways they wanted and already paid from original return for & even got an expert’s help with the printing the state one and sent it via the post office but it still says it’s in progress rather than being processed? it’s been two weeks stating this and I’m not sure if it will affect me getting a return or not or if mailing and processing is just taking long, I just need some reassurance that it’s done right. I haven’t gone in and edited or anything, just let it be.

What is "it" that says your amended return is in progress? Does it say that about your federal amended return or your state amended return?

Once you have e-filed or printed your amended return, TurboTax gets no information from the IRS or the state about the status. Whatever TurboTax says is not going to change.

To check the status of your federal amended return use Where's My Amended Return? on the IRS web site. It takes the IRS 5 months or more to process an amended return.

Check the tax web site for your state to see if there is a way to check the status of a state amended return.

In your original question you said "it’s been two weeks." At the top of the "Where’s My Amended Return?" page on the IRS web site it says "You can check the status of an amended return around 3 weeks after you submit it." Try again in a week or two.

The IRS page is only for your federal amended return. It cannot tell you anything about your state amended return.
