After you file

So here's our story, we filed our taxes early, got a return, and then the rules changed. We amended our taxes and were told we were still owed over 2300. We waited and waited. I didn't find out about the IRS amended tax return checker until about 15 weeks in. At that point, I learned that it takes 16 weeks for an amended return to process. Then they have to mail you a paper check, which can take 3 more weeks. Now bear in mind this is in a normal year not when the IRS is backed up due to stimulus payments. So we are now at 18 weeks with no check. Also because we amended we didn't receive our first child tax credit payment in July either. I've never been so concerned about what's actually going to happen and when. We have to move in a month and this was what the money was for. We have never had issues because we always use Turbo Tax however we will never amend a tax return again if possible.
