After you file

Did you wait until the IRS fully processed your original return or did you create extra confusion by amending before the IRS fully processed your first return?   You are supposed to wait for the IRS to process your return because sometimes the IRS catches and corrects mistakes and you do not end up having to amend.

 

 

 

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
