You Can Track the Status of Your Amended Return
You can track the status of your amended return online using the IRS’s “Where’s My Amended Return?” tool or by calling 866-464-2050. You can get the status of your amended returns for the current tax year and up to three prior years. The automated system will tell you if your return has been received, adjusted or completed. All you need is your Social Security number, date of birth and zip code to access the system.
It can take up to three weeks from the date you mail your amended return for it to show up in the IRS’s system. After that, it generally takes eight to 12 weeks for an amended return to be processed, but in some cases it can take 16 weeks or longer—so you have to be patient.
