Made a mistake on my return & submitted an amended return (accepted). Filed both the same day. Got the main refund but not the amended refund. When will I see that?

Per the IRS, amended returns can take up to 6 months to process.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.Do not expect quick results from amending.When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.You can watch for information here:
