@psmithers This thread began more than two years ago and has posts from hundreds of users. We do not know if you are trying to ask a question or if you just wanted to add a comment. The topic of this thread is amended returns.
Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:
