    Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.  

     

    You can watch for information here:

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

     

    Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
    When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
    So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
    Then press 3 "for all other questions."
    Then press 2 "for all other questions."
    - When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
    - After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

    Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
    Then press 3 for all other inquiries
    It should then transfer you to an agent.
