Can you find out status of refund on AMENDED tax return on IRS website?

Question

I have put in the information correctly, our SSN, refund amount, etc. but it keeps coming up with "incorrect information." It says the IRS accepted my amended 1040X form on Turbotax, which is how I did it. Because it was an amended return, I had to mail it and will receive the difference via a paper check.

Because it's an amended return with a refund, is it NOT going to show up on the IRS website?

Answer 1

Information regarding refunds for Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return is not available. Amended/corrected returns are processed as quickly as possible. However, it may take 8 to 12 weeks or longer to process the return. If 8 weeks have elapsed and you have not received your refund, call [phone].

Answer 2

Amendment gererally take from 8 to 12 weeks before the refund is issued.  At the 8 week mark you should call to confirm that they have received the amendment.  They seem to have a way of getting lost.

Answer 3

The amended return information does not post to the website.

Allow at least 8 weeks and then call.  Generally by then they can tell you if they have it, even if it hasn't been processed yet.
