How do you know the IRS did not receive it? How long ago did you send it in? And....did you e-file it or did you mail it? It is taking the IRS six to nine months--or longer--to process amended returns, so you cannot expect quick results from amending. If you mailed it, did you use a mailing service with tracking such as certified mail so you would know it was received? It takes a long time for a human to open your envelope and enter it into the system, so you have to be patient.
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 to nine 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:
