Should I amend

Lovrinic13 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:11:22 GMT

My taxes are being looked at by the IRS and said it can take up to 3 years... We need the money sooner than later and I know it takes 90-180 days to get the amended back but that's better than having to wait to get my $7,000 return that we need very Badly.

Generally it will not take up to three years for them to review. Are you being audited? An amendment is not needed and would delay things further.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

You will need to contact the IRS for information. It might be easiest to set up an account with them.

I believe I am being audited cause I got two papers in the mail but I've tried every irs website, transcripts, and I can't get an update on anything. I filed the begging of February I think it was so it's already been 3 months and nothing has changed. I just wish there was a way for an update.

You can try to call them at 800-829-1040, but I think making an account would be the best. It is hard for us to tell without knowing exactly what they mailed you.
