Any date in TurboTax is an estimate that it gives everyone based on a common 21-day time frame. There's no telling how long it will take on those 2 returns, now that an amended return is in the mix. Amended returns take a long time. If you want any info on it, you would need to phone the IRS, but they may not be able to tell you much yet. You say you can't reach a live person. See the steps below on how to trudge through their phone system.
IRS: 800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- First choose your language. Then listen to each menu before making the selection.
- Then press 2 for "personal income tax".
- Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
- Then press 3 "for all other questions."
- Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- It may then ask for your SSN, but do not enter it. Just wait. If it asks for SSN a second time, still do not enter it.
- Then it will get "tired", and you'll get another menu. Choose 2 for "personal".
- Then in the next menu choose 4 for "all other inquiries", and it should transfer you to an agent but expect a long wait.
- I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.
