After you file

My amended return shows completed 8/11/23, that was 4 weeks ago and I haven't received a notice or refund. I can't find any answers anywhere about how long it should take. Everyone just gives the standard answer that it's 16 - 20 weeks from acceptance. Well, I'm WAY past that. It's been over 6 months since it was accepted. 

I know they send checks via Bulk Mail which can take 2 weeks, which means I should have already received mine. Getting frustrated!


Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
