You said two things that contradict each other. You say that the IRS says they have not received anything, and then you say that the site says they are still processing. Which is it?

No do not amend. You do not amend a return until it has been fully processed----IF there is a mistake that needs to be corrected. Amending would not speed up the IRS--in fact it would likely cause confusion and longer delay. You know they have your return and that they are processing it. There may be a problem that has put it under review, but if the IRS wants any information from you they will request it by sending a letter to you.

Keep watching the IRS site for information.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To call the IRS:IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent.

The IRS DID get your return since they are still processing it ... do NOT send in an amended return until the original return has fully processed and only if you have a correction to make.

Only the IRS controls when and if a tax refund is Approved and Sent.

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."

- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.

- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

Then press 4 for all other inquiries.

It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or you can contact your local IRS office. See this IRS website for local IRS offices - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-Your-Local-IRS-Office-1 or call 1-844-545-5640 to set up an appointment

Or you may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area. See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

@mrxredd24-gmail- did you mean you submited it in March, 2021 or March, 2022?

the IRS has stated they have processed all returns with no errors that were received prior to April, 2022. if their website states they have it and are still processing it, that means there is some sort of error or audit review.
