I amended my 2020 return electronically in June still NO refund

[albertoisraelmelendez]

Hi Guys, I filed an amended 2020 tax return electronically in June 2021. IRS website tracker tool says they received it June 1st  2021 but has NOT been processed yet. It has been 7 months so far. Any one receive theirs yet that filed in June 2021??? I need some hope here I'm not sure what to do. I understand everything is backlogged. Anyone get theirs yet!? I amended due to not receiving two stimulus checks. The IRS amended tracker tool says...

Your amended return was received on June 01, 2021. However, it has not been processed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please call [phone number removed], extension 623, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. You will need a copy of your amended return. (it gives a message to take action now). 

Thank you in advance!! please give me some hope here. I really need this money! any advice or good stories? so crazy how long i have waitied.

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 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:
