Did you mail an amended return and remember to actually sign the 1040-X and the 1040? Generally, it can take 8-16 weeks to process an amended return since those have to be done by hand. Additionally, while you were correct to amend the return to correct a wrong SSN, since it makes no difference to your tax liability at all you can expect it to be quite awhile for it to be processed. Also, if you amended the return before your already e-filed return was completely processed and before you had physical possession of any refund due on that originally e-filed and accepted return, then it may be more than 16 weeks. The IRS may view the change of an SSN as possible fraud. While this is really not an issue for you since it's not fraud (you fixed an honest mistake) it will definitely increase the probability of things taking quite a long time easily in excess of 16 weeks. All you can do it wait. The IRS number is 1-800-829-1040. If you call it, do ***NOT*** select the option for refund status, as you will ***NEVER*** get a human with that option.
