@crenshawshirley44 - the IRS is woefully backlogged. assume a 9-12 month wait from the time you filed the amendment until the amendment is processed. this is from the IRS website:
Status of Processing Form 1040-X, Amended Individual Tax Return: As of July 23, 2022, we had 2 million unprocessed Forms 1040-X. We are processing these returns in the order received and are working hard to get through the inventory. The current timeframe can be more than 20 weeks instead of up to 16. Please don't file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your amended return. Taxpayers should continue to check Where's My Amended Return? for the most up to date processing status available.
note it talks about "more than 20 weeks' with no upper limit to how long it will be.
