Amended Return is Completed - But confused by the IRS wording
My Amended 2023 Return was 'Adjusted' on April 26 resulting in a refund (for only one of the two amended corrections) that I promptly received on April 30. My amended return was 'Completed' on May 17th but I have yet to receive a refund for the other amended correction. I kind of thought both corrections resulting in refunds would be added together and refunded in just one refund check but the check I received April 30 was for just one of the two amended corrections. Now that my amended return is 'completed' I am confused by the IRS wording.
Under 'Completed' the wording says:
We processed your amended return on May 17, 2024. The adjustment on your account resulted in a refund. You should have received your refund and/or a notice if your refund was adjusted to cover past due obligations.
I have received a refund for one of the two amended corrections when my return was 'adjusted' back on April 26, but what can I expect for the other correction? My amended return was 'completed' on May 17th and the wording under 'completed' says my account resulted in a refund. Does that mean I should expect to receive another refund check for the other correction that I haven't received yet? The wording under 'completed' uses the past-tense phrase; 'you should have received your refund... Does this wording refer only to the refund I already received back in April? What about the remaining refund I am due for the other correction I haven't received yet?
How long should I wait to receive the remaining refund I'm due before just giving-up and accepting I won't ever get a refund check for the other correction?
Thank you for an educated answer
