I filed our 2020 taxes via TurboTax on April 6th, 2021. I then amended that filing on April 28,2021 via TurboTax when new tax data became available. Then, I filed another amended return on August 31, 2021 when additional tax data became available and again this was done via TurboTax. Refund owed to us as of 8-31-2021 amendment is $2862. IRS has not issued the refund or acknowledged the track record. What do I do now?

You WAIT. You have probably confused the IRS by amending not once but twice without waiting for the original return to be fully processed. Do not do anything at this time to confuse them more.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return. During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns. Do not expect quick results from amending. When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check. They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns. You can watch for information here:

Going forward----do not amend a tax return before the original return has been fully processed.
