After you file

For your amended return, if it was mailed May or later, it is still being processed. As to this year's return, it was only accepted Jan 27. The only way to have a processed return this fast is to have no children, no stimulus, etc. IRS will delay processing by 2-3 weeks if an income tax return has the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit (CTC), since these credits are often misused. In addition, cross-checking of stimulus payments, etc may cause additional delays. Your return will say processing until they have a payment date. Once they determine a date, the program will update.
