It's been 17 weeks since I filed my amended return thru turbotax. The where's my refund website and app are useless.  All the numbers you call are the automated system. They tell you nothing. I can't get to a live human being and I want to know why I don't have my refund yet.  I've got turbotax charging me late fees for tax prep. Help. Someone tell me where I can find some help. 


Amended tax returns are taking the IRS anywhere from 6 month to a year to process.

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.
