My amended tax return was overlooked and never processed. I was told to refill. Will I still have to mail another 1040x and 740x form? They are showing submitted 1/18/17.

[Opus 17]

What do you mean overlooked?   Did you actually print and mail your amended returns the first time?

Also, the accepted date that shows in your file only applies to the original electronic return.  You won't get electronic notification of amended returns that you mail.

The 1040X was not even available in January 2017--so not sure what you tried to send or how you sent it.  Please explain what you did--or tried to do.

I'm sorry. I meant that the amended tax was rifled,printed the 1040 and 740 forms,signed and mailed. They received them on 01-18-2017. I kept checking back..was not being processed. After the 16 week period,it stated to contact the IRS that there was a problem,so I did. He told me somehow,the IRS had overlooked processing it and I would have to go back online and refile it. I did so. After completion.it stated to print the 1040 and 740 forms,sign and return. However,they are stamped with the original date first sent. Was just wondering if I still would have to print, sign and mail them since they already have them?

[Opus 17]

What year was the amended return for?  It could not have been 2016 taxes since Turbotax could not prepare a 1040X until after February 15, 2017.

They can't tell you to go back online and refile an amended return because amended returns can't be filed online unless you use a real accountant.

What is a form 740X?  Is that a federal form (used for certain business taxes only) Or is that a state form?  If so, what state?  Did you call the state and IRS separately?  Did both the state and the IRS lose your forms?  Or maybe you mailed the state and IRS forms both to the IRS?

Much is still unclear here.

It was for 2016. I sent it in early and they received it on 2/13/2017. Yes amended tax returns can be filed online. The 740x form is for state. The 1040x was federal. It's for the state of Kentucky. I called the IRS. He stated that somehow the amended tax filedmwasmoverlooked. Said that happens occasionally. Said since it's past th 16 weeks,I would need to refill the amended taxes. I told him it was filed online. He said that's fine. I mailed the forms to their separate places required.

You're confused. Per IRS Pub 17: "An amended tax return can’t be filed electronically." <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/ch01.html#en_US_2016_publink1000170688">https://www.irs.gov/pub...>

You are still saying that you amended online and that you mailed forms.  It is very confusing trying to help you when we keep getting contradictory answers.

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

Amended federal returns can't be filed online, no matter what the IRS operator told you.  (Their overall accuracy rate is around 50% anyway).  Amended state returns can sometimes be filed online, but not by turbotax, only by using the state web site.  After all, if you had somehow managed to file both forms correctly, it is very unlikely that the IRS and state would each lose your form, since they are processed in completely different offices by different people. 

My best guess of your situation is that you never actually filed either amended return.  Print new copies, sign them, and mail them separately to the correct addresses.  You may want to use a mail service with tracking numbers.  I don't know what else you need to send with the state 740X, but for the 1040X you need to include a complete copy of your tax return with the corrected numbers (all forms and schedules) plus the 1040X which summarizes the changes, plus any new W-2s if you added any.

I do need to mail my amended tax return to the IRS. In trying to print the amended federal return, it is only showing my original return amount of $582. rather than the amended amount of %1793. The larger amount shows on the screen on my laptop that does my taxes, but when I check the verification of the print is shows my old amount. Can you help?
