After you file

@tinybrooks Even in "normal" times it takes at least four months for the IRS to process an amended return; during the pandemic it is taking much longer, so do not expect quick results from amending your tax return.   When they send your refund it will be a check mailed to your address--- it will not be a direct deposit.  You can watch here for information:
