It cannot be tracked until the IRS is in the processing phase. It may take longer to process the amended return depending on whether the original return has been fully processed and you have received that refund.
Once you have that information, you can use IRS’ online service, Where’s My Amended Return, to track your amended return. You can also call the IRS directly at 1-866-464-2050 if you prefer, but expect long wait times, especially during tax season.
When To Check the Status of Your Amended Return
Since it takes three weeks for your return to enter the IRS system, it’s best to wait about a month before you start checking the status of your amended return. If it has been more than 20 weeks since you submitted your return and you’ve already checked the IRS online tool, then you can call the IRS directly at 1-866-464-2050 to enquire about the status of your return.
