Question

Is it true that it will take around 12 - 16 weeks for the IRS to process and send my tax returns for my amended tax information? Do I also have to mail it or just use TT?

I just wanted to know if I could expect it a little sooner than that. There was also a section that said that I had to mail it to the IRS, but I sent it through TurboTax, is that okay? Also there was something that confused me. After I finished inputting the information from my new W-2 form and printed the amended information for my own records, it said that I got the same federal tax return amount as my original tax returns, instead of the new amount that was displayed on the left-hand side. Is that just a reminder of my original tax return or was there a mistake that will affect the amended amount?

You can't send an amended return form 1040X through TurboTax. The return must be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.

What refund is shows on form 1040X? It would be on line 21 if you are getting a refund. If you owe, it would be on line 20. The refund from your original return is on line 18. It will be processed in the normal return time frames and will not be changed by your amended return. It is recommended that you do not mail your amended return until you receive the refund from your original return.

It is true that the amended return will take around 16 weeks to process after you mail it to the IRS.
