After you file

The IRS has not processed any type of paper filed tax returns for the past several months.  They have only just recently started to process those tax returns on an as received basis.

Keep checking the IRS amended return status website weekly - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.

Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
