After you file

Not true. I owe them a big chunk and been trying to get a mortgage! They received mine through E-filing March 26th and still no updates and about to lose a house and several thousand dollars. The IRS needs to get their shyt together because this is only our lives and livelihoods they are messing with.  I understand it takes 16 weeks so I have 4 weeks left. You would think since I owed they would be on top of it. I think I will demand 16 weeks before I even make one payment. Lol


Unfortunate amended returns usually take 16 weeks to process, the this year with COVID and stimulus payments, the IRS is so overload that amending returns are taking 6 months or longer to process.     If you amended at the end of March then it will probably be Sept or Oct. before you hear anything.

 

If you owed additional tax then interest started as of the due date and yiu will be billed for it - the sooner you pay, the sooner the interest will stop.

 

However, if you amended before your original return was  fully processed and you had two tax returns in the system at the same time then both will be red-flagged for review - that can take a year or more.
