If you recently efiled an amended return ...
Once the status shows as completed, there’s no further way to check the status of your refund
With normal tax returns, the IRS has a Where’s My Refund tool that allows you to check the status of your refund. But this technology is not available with an amended tax return refund. The good news is that you can still receive the amended refund through Direct Deposit – you won’t need to wait on delivery of a paper check, which can take a few months to receive.
Unfortunately, beyond that you usually just have to be patient. The IRS will only take calls about the status of an amended tax return refund if it’s been 12 weeks since the official receipt of Form 1040X. If it has been 12 weeks, then you can call their hotline at 800-829-1040.
