Well that was foolish and the program even tells you to wait ... now things could get messy and take much longer to process. You should get the original refund first and much later the amended amount if you completed the 1040X correctly AND the IRS doesn't change the original return ... in that case the amended return will most likely be rejected and/or returned to you. All you can do now is WAIT while the IRS figures out what you did.

its not foolish when the irs and the tax advocate were the ones whom told me to amend my return ...... its very foolish of you to call something else foolish when you don't know the reason it happened

It is RARE for the IRS to tell you to amend a return when the original return has not been fully processed and since you left out that Gem in the original question I gave the most likely answer since this year many are jumping the gun to amend returns since the IRS has been delayed in processing the originals and of the tax law changes.

In your situation the time it will take to process the amended return is probably in the 6 months or longer time frame so be prepared to wait that long at least and be thrilled if it comes in sooner.

its not RARE If they told me to do it , they told me to amend my return while it is still waiting to be processed . i didnt ask for any smart remarks ... all i asked was for help with something i was obviously concerned about. thank you and enjoy the rest of your night !!!
