It could be that the IRS is behind with everything going on. Amended returns are done manually.

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.

I'm in same shape. Do they even say they have it yet? IRS is going to start allowing turbotax and others to process amended returns electronically this summer sometime, so if nothing else maybe we have that. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-form-1040-x-electronic-filing-options-coming-this-su[product key removed]tone-reached-for-electronic-returns

@aprilbbryan After this post was answered the IRS closed due to Covid-19, they are still processing e-filed returns but they are currently not processing mailed in returns (original or amended). They said they will be processing the mailed in returns once they open back up. You can keep checking the IRS, Where's My Amended Return, it will show information once the IRS starts processing your amended return.

I know they were behind due to covid and returns were in trailers. Do we have any clue on when we consider our amended return lost and either refile by paper or possibly through turbotax online?

Try calling to check the status of your refund at the IRS website.

You should then be transferred to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.

Today is March 15th, 2022. I sent my Amended return on April 2021. I checked the "Where is my amended" page once every other week. On March 1st. 2022 finally they updated the status of my Amended it says "Take Action Please see below for additional info about your amended return. Your amended return was received on

April 22, 2021. However, it has not been processed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please call 800-829-0582, extension 623, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. You will need a copy of your amended return." I didn't call! Today I FINALLY received the check!! After almost a year! And they included interest! Hope this help everybody who is waiting :). It is coming!!
