My turbotax desktop says that my "amended" return was accepted. I am trying to convince the tax advocates that I have filed my amended return. How to get documentation?

That's the website that gave me the number and extension to call that then gave me the taxpayer advocate number to call.

@Tragikomik Perhaps you are just expecting your refund from the amended return too soon, since it is taking the IRS at least six months and sometimes longer to fully process amended returns.   Few things are happening at a "normal" pace this year.   We have heard from people who have been waiting longer than six months.   If you know that the IRS has your amended return, there is little you can do to speed the IRS up.  And, sorry, but TurboTax cannot speed them up for you or make them more responsive to phone calls.

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. If you paid nothing already then this line should be zero.

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.  If you have not received your refund yet then you need to wait for it.  If the refund changes from what you expected then this line must reflect that change.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.

I will take many months - not three - for IRS to process your amendment.

Your best course of action is to forget about it, since it was ACCEPTED.
