After you file

@Nisha1031 Did you print, sign and mail a Form 1040X?

 

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 3-4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

If you are getting a refund from an amended return, the IRS mails a check to you--they do not make a direct deposit for an amended return refund.
