Amended Return Status
You can check the status of your Form 1040X.pdf using the Where's My Amended Return?
(WMAR) online tool or the toll-free telephone number 866-464-2050 three
weeks after you file your amended return. Both tools are available in
English and Spanish and track the status of amended returns for the
current year and up to three prior years.
You must enter your taxpayer identification number (usually your
social security number), date of birth, and ZIP code in either tool to
prove your identity. Once you authenticate, the web tool shows an
illustrated graphic to visually communicate the status of your amended
return within the processing stages: Received, Adjusted, or Completed.
As a reminder, amended returns take up to 16 weeks to process and up to
three weeks from the date of mailing to show up in our system. Before
that time, there's no need to call the IRS unless the tool specifically
tells you to do so.
