After you file

@trobert70 The IRS does not make direct deposits for amended returns.   When you amend a tax return and are getting a refund the IRS will only mail you a check.   So watching your bank account is a waste of time.   And....it takes the IRS about six months or longer to send a refund for an amended return.   Expecting the refund in 30 days is unrealistic.
