About 45 days ago, I decided to amend my return after the unemployment change because I learned that I needed to do that if the unemployment change made me qualify for EIC, which it did. The IRS accepted this amendment. A few days later they gave me their recalculated refund - the refund they said they would do on their own. My question and possible problem is since the IRS already gave us the recalculated refund which didn’t account for EIC (which is why I amended) how much is my amended return going to screw up things and is there anything else I should do. Also I have yet to receive the amended refund (which they said has to come by check (is that true?) even though they have my direct deposit info) and the IRS’s “where’s my tax refund” portal says it doesn’t work with amended returns.
