It can't be a coincidence that1040-X was adjusted two days after the UCE was processed separately.
The same thing happened to my niece's amended return.
It happened to take 16 weeks - four months, not six months.
evidently the 1040-X was being held up.
I believe that I read recently on the IRS website or in an IRS alert that was e-mailed, that if you amend in addition to the IRS automatically applying the UCE refund, then the IRS will automatically update the amended return to reflect that but it will not affect any other reason for amending which will be processed normally. (I'll post that reference if I can find it again - I did not save it.)
