CHECK CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY! How funny....I had just posted the previous message earlier today, before checking the mail. The refund check actually came in today's mail! Like a previous poster said, they even included a little interest...$98.23. I have no idea what the interest rate was or the time interval they used to calculate it, but almost $100 is just that much more than I was expecting.
So, to recap the sequence of events:
Mailed January 20, 2021
IRS shows received January 25, 2021
(IRS website did not actually post receipt acknowledgement until March 26, 2021)
IRS website status changed to "Take Action" June 5, 2021 although phone call to IRS showed no action needed.
IRS website status changed to "Adjusted" Friday July 23, 2021
Paper check received in the mail Monday July 26, 2021.
Essentially 26 weeks after I dropped my amended return in the mail, I received a paper check.
Good luck to all and I hope the posts and info on here helps someone.
