After you file

The IRS does not acknowledge amended returns that can only be mailed.

Amended returns take 8-12 weeks to process (sometimes 16 weeks - that is 4 months).

You can check the status of the amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after mailing.

(It is always a good idea to mail using certified mail with a return receipt, or other tracking service, to verify that it was received by the IRS.)
