Amended return Help

So i messed up on my original return because of some poor communication over claiming dependents and long story short, I had to file an amend to include dependents. However, I did this very soon after my first return was accepted. I never received the original refund, to this day, and I have no updates about my amended form. 

 

I use the IRS tracker to look for the return- no luck. I search for the original return and it shows up saying it is completed and deposited but I still never received anything. 

What's going on? What do I do?

 

Thanks everyone.

You should have waited for the original return to be fully processed before sending an amended return.  That can cause confusion and delays.

Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.  

 

Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

When you filed your original return, did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund?

I think I did choose to pay from the refund. But the federal refund never arrived, I was never charged.
