@ciarasj - figure 9-12 months.  the IRS is woefullybacklogged.  Here is what is stated on its website...note there is no upper limit to "more than 20 weeks".

 

Status of Processing Form 1040-X, Amended Individual Tax Return: As of June 25, 2022, we had 2 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. Taxpayers should continue to check Where's My Amended Return? for the most up to date processing status available.
