Obtained Partial refund. Filing amendment to correct the mistake. Will the 35b&d for account & routing number in the Form 1040 be marked as "X"?

[SJ20221011]

I have obtained partial refund due to the error in the filing done earlier. I am filing amendment to fix the returns. In the forms 1040-X, it shows the 35b&d as "X". Will I get the remaining amount refunded, after filing the 1040-X in this case?

You have not said what you changed on your return when you amended.   But as for account and routing number---if you are getting a refund for an amended tax return, the IRS will only mail you a check.  They will not make a direct deposit for your refund.

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 to nine  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:
