Hi everyone,

I mailed my 1040x along with a check (owed payments) via USPS certified mail on Jul 9. I just noticed the check has been cleared through my bank transactions. However, IRS still does not provide any status on my 1040x when I checked. Is it normal to have the check cleared before records are shown on the IRS account? I'm afraid my documents and check are in the wrong hands. If anyone has insight on this, please please let me know!

Thank you,

Michelle

Not a surprise ... when the envelope was opened the payment went in one direction and is cashed right away ... and the return in another to a department to wait it's turn of being processed. Processing of amended returns will probably take 4-6 months so be patient.

I have sent my due payment and the check was cashed by treasury. Now I receive a notice of intent to seize (levy) letter from IRS that I owe that amount again. Please advice

Ok ... these notices are auto generated by a computer and sometimes the response you sent in to a human has not been processed yet and so the computer sends out another notice. I would ignore the second notice for now since you know it is wrong OR you can send a response again OR call the number on the notice and see if that can stop the mailings.

The first letter that I sent to IRS with proof of payments was in August and now another threating letter. I wonder if it takes them 3-4 months to update my file?
