Is been over 16 weeks since I filed a 1040X I forgot to add my unemployment benefits. How can I know if I qualify for the unemployment tax reimbursement. How much longer do I give them before I call?

Hello mivida6801

Unfortunately the IRS is currently several months behind in processing returns. The "normal" (pre-COVID) quoted timeframe for an amended return to be processes was 16 weeks. Now, due to staffing shortages, I would add a few months to that timeframe at a minimum.

Your amended return, Form 1040X , would reflect the unemployment compensation on Schedule 1 Line 7 and the exclusion on your Schedule 1 Line 8.

You can also check the status of your amended tax return,
