Will I receive my amended return?

I amended my tax return in March and have not received any contact about when I'm going to receive what I am owed. I even paid to do this.

Amended tax returns can take the IRS over 5 months or longer before they are processed.

Go to this IRS website for the status of an amended tax return - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Amended returns are taking longer .  Like 6 months or more.  Did you wait to amend until the original return was done processing and you got the first refund or paid the tax due?

 

After 3 weeks you can track it here,    https://www.irs.gov/filing/individuals/amended-returns-form-1040-x-/wheres-my-amended-return-1

I did not amend the return until I received my full refund. I have tried to track the amended return on the IRS website and it says I cannot access the page even using mobile data.

What happens when you go to this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

And then click on the Blue button labeled Amended Return Status

It has me enter my SSN, birth date, and zip code. And when I hit next, it takes me to an "access denied" page. I've tried over mobile data and wifi and it happens with both.

I just tried by typing in my Social Security number, date of birth and zip code.  It took me to a screen stating no information available.  Which would be true since I do not have an amended return.

I mailed mine March 21, and the where's my amended return tool still doesn't show that they have received one from me. How do we know if they actually received it or if it got lost in the mail when it has been longer than 3 weeks and nothing is showing on their website??

Mine still doesn't show there either.

@KCtwinmom - give it 6 months - really - the IRS is WAY behind and backlogged.  there are plenty of articles on the internet about their dilemma. THey are in the process of hiring 10,000 people and have made a commitment to Congress to clear the backlog by December.  

Will I receive my amended return?

Last year amended returns took 6 months to a year to process  so just hang in there.  

Will I receive my amended return?

The IRS commissioner is a master of weasel words.

He did not make any commitment.

He said he expected to clear the backlog by December, barring any other unexpected emergencies.

And that is only the 2020 backlog.

Then he asked for more funding.

@fanfare 

 

see article and other similar articles.. commitment is to get back to normal backlog levels by the end of 2022

just wondering because by the day I am falling deeper and deeper into hardship 

Will I receive my amended return?

@ezekielallen29 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:
