The IRS says to call if more than 16 weeks: I really hate to say it, call the IRS. Call 1-800-829-1040. Don't push buttons -so you can get to a human being.
It sounds like yours has not even started processing. They also say:
It's been longer than 16 weeks since you received my amended return and it hasn't been processed yet. Why?
Some amended returns take longer than 16 weeks for several reasons. Delays may occur when the return needs further review because it:
- Has errors
- Is incomplete
- Isn't signed
- Is returned to you requesting more information
- Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
Delays in processing also can happen when an amended return needs:
- Routing to a specialized area
- Clearance by the bankruptcy area within the IRS
- Review and approval by a revenue office
- Review of an appeal or a requested reconsideration of an IRS decision
We will contact you whenever we need more information to process your amended return.
