I amended to include a missing W-2 form. I printed and sent in the paperwork through mail and I am wondering if I can track the progress of that return since it was not filed through Turbotax.

If you have mailed your tax return the IRS says that you can start tracking it 4 weeks after mailing your paper return via the Where's my Refund site: https://www.irs.gov/refunds


If the return you wish to track is an amended tax return please see the following:

Three weeks after you have mailed your amended return you can track it by visiting the following link: Where is my Amended Return or by calling the toll-free telephone number 866-464-2050.

Hello- I amended my 2018 because I made mistake on filing separately instead of joint on state. So I Amended it but I only sent the Amended form to the state I didn’t sent anything to the IRS. Now I called the state We ended up owing $$$ they said they didn’t receive amended form? I’m so confused I don’t know what to do. Do I have to send amended form to the IRS too even I only amended for State? I’m form Iowa. Thanks

Did you file the original state return?  If you had a tax due on the original return you still need to pay that if you haven't.  Check your Amended return, it assumes you paid the first tax due.
