Note that amended returns take an additional amount of time to process, so expect your refund to be significantly delayed.

It is taking 6-12 months for the IRS to process amended returns, so do not expect quick results from sending in an amended return.

 

 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:

@dcw329 this is from the IRS website. note they say it will take 'more than 20 weeks' and there is no upper bound.  I agree, 6-12 months from the experience of others. 

 

Status of Processing Form 1040-X, Amended Individual Tax Return: As of August 20, 2022, we had 1.9 million unprocessed Forms 1040-X. We are processing these returns in the order received and are working hard to get through the inventory. The current timeframe can be more than 20 weeks instead of up to 16. Please don't file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your amended return.
