After you file

You are definitely NOT in the 'waiting' mode alone!

 

The IRS has been struggling to keep up its normal processing times because of a number of pandemic-related reasons, including a workforce shortage, a backlog of paper returns, and errors related to the expanded child credit and other changes.

 

As of June 23, 2021, they had 17.5 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline.

 

The processing time for an Amended Return is presently 6 months or more.
