I forgot to put dependent when I filed for 2023. I just efiled with added dependent. The app stated my refund amount and said it would be direct deposited with 3 weeks. Now I'm reading it takes up to 20 weeks. Does anyone know how long I should be expecting my refund to take?

    Did you wait to amend until you got the first refund?

    Don't know why Turbo Tax says 3 weeks.  That would be for the original refund and is just an estimate which is usually wrong.  The IRS is saying 20 weeks for amended returns.  After 3 weeks you can track it at Where's my Amended return?
