After you file
I also mailed my amended form over 3 weeks ago with tracking and got confirmation they received it, but it's not appearing on "Where's My Amended Return?" IRS tool. This is the second time I had to send my amended return because the first one I sent also never appeared on that tool, despite me waiting way over the 3 weeks. I amended because I incorrectly claimed myself as independent in my original return, when I am in fact a dependent of my parents. Their return was rejected, and so was mine since I didn't submit healthcare forms an independent would need to. After contacting Marketplace, TurboTax and the IRS themselves, they said I didn't need to submit the healthcare forms they asked for if I am actually a dependent, since my parents will, and suggested I just amend, which I did. Why isn't my amended return on file yet, if they say it'll take a max of 3 weeks to appear on the site? Is it because of the coronavirus? Or did I do something wrong? The IRS website says you need to amend if you claimed a dependency status incorrectly , which was my issue, but in the letter asking for the healthcare forms, they said I didn't need to amend, just send the forms to process the original (incorrect) tax return, but I don't need the original processed. I amended anyway because the issue needed to be fixed, but now I'm wondering if they're not accepting my amended return because I didn't submit those papers for the original return, or if it really just is coronavirus delays. I don't see why I'd have to submit those forms if all those representatives told me not to and it was incorrect and needing amending anyway, and I of course can't ask this to IRS customer service now because they're all laid off because of the virus. HELP!!!!!! please
