Question

Can a federal tax refund be amended if the state return is still pending? Or do both, federal and state have to be accepted before amending?

BOTH returns must be fully processed by the taxing authority and the original refunds received before you amend either return. The amendment process will not even be functional until after 2/12.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
