After you file

Hello- Mine took 8 months.  The only way I got it was to contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service in AZ where I live.  Every state has one.  Within 1 week of me filing a complaint with them, I was called by a person that gave me her contact information.  I was told it would be one more month before I received it.  Well, 3 weeks later she called me again and told me IRS has cut a check and I would get it in a week or so.  Three days later I received it.  They also added interest for the 8 months they did NOT pay it.  Granted it was not a lot, depends I suppose on how much your amended return is for.  I hope this helps you.
