After you file

You will be lucky to see the amended return processed by Thanksgiving this year ... they are taking 6 months or more due to the reduced staffing at the IRS.  They did not change the IRS site but this is what has been reported ... some folks waited almost a year for the 2019 returns to process.     https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

 

Call the IRS:  1-800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.  

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info).  Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".   

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  

- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.  

- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

Then press 4 for all other inquiries.

It should then transfer you to an agent.
