My wife and I mailed our amended Return on May 16th, 2020 for the tax year 2019. On Sept. 1st, still no check.
I called the IRS to find out what's going on. She said the IRS has no record of our Amended Return in their system. WHAT!? She advised me to wait another month, then file another. I hung up and immediately filled out another 1040X and mailed it, certified mail this time . A week later, I checked with the post office and they showed the Return was received at the IRS Sept. 6th (Fresno). As of Jan. 15, 2022.... the IRS has still has not processed our Return into their system. The IRS owes us a lot of $$$. What can we do?!
All you can do is wait. The IRS is backed up with millions of paper filed tax return to process. They are processing the paper returns in the order received.
As stated on the IRS website for the status of an amended tax return - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
COVID-19 Mail Processing Delays
It’s taking us longer to process mailed documents including:
- Paper tax returns, and
- All tax return related correspondence.
We are processing all mail in the order we received it.
Do not file a second tax return or call the IRS.
