Original 2021 federal return accepted March 11 with $0 refund; found piece of info I forgot and Amended return accepted March 14 with $980 refund. Have not received?

IRS track my refund said no information allow 21 days, it has been 85 days?

Sorry to tell you but the amended return will not begin to process until the original return completes being processed and then it is taking 6 months to a year to process the amended return... so get comfortable ... you are in for a long wait and there is nothing you can do to speed up the process.   Next year don't be in a rush to file a zero refund return ... wait a week or 2 to be sure so you don't get caught in this delay again.

There are two links on the IRS main page

Get Your Refund Status

and

Check Your Amended Return Status.

You want to use the second of these.

expect to wait nine months or more for your 1040-X refund.
