I submitted a 2020 amended return after the unemployment rules were changed because it helped my family qualify for additional credits that the IRS automatic recalculation wouldn't check for (convenient of them). The IRS said if you qualified for new credits you had to amend your return.
Long story somewhat short :P, the IRS has been sitting on my amended return since they reported receiving it in April. The "where's my amended return?" tool claims it was adjusted and then completed on 9/10/21 but I have not gotten any letters or a refund check in the mail. So this morning I scoured the web for a how to guide to actually got on the phone with an IRS rep. To the rep's credit she did give me some additional insight but not exactly what I wanted to here.
Apparently on 9/14/21 the amended return was put back under review, just 4 days after they still claim on their tool it was completed (9/10). Well it's now January of 2022 and the rep was not able to give me a timeframe for when I might expect to receive any notice or additional refund. She also helped me understand that this was also the reason I only received $450 of the $1,800 in early 2021 CTC payments (yes, I know I can still get the rest on my 2021 return).
I guess I can only wait but if there is anyone who has any ideas or thinks this is way too long and isn't normal I would appreciate any feedback.
