FYI Amended Returns can now Direct Deposit

Just saw this on the IRS website

From the news release;

 Taxpayers filing an original tax return using tax preparation software can file an electronic Form 1040-X if the software manufacturer offers that service.

This caught my eye:

Current processing time is more than 20 weeks for both paper and electronically filed amended returns, as processing an amended return remains a manual process even if it's filed electronically.
