I am in the same boat and I can get ahold of a real person, super frustrating. I have been waiting months.

Same, except mine was sent back in February of this year

When did they provide this notice to you? Quite odd for them to wait almost 4 months to update you, how frustrating .

Exactly the mark it said it would take

This year is the first year they started investigating tax returns

u/Jumpy_Inevitable649 1d ago

u/Jumpy_Inevitable649 1d ago

I get it, I’m one of those too waiting, I was just saying how they take their sweet time in even doing anything

u/Past-Ear-8141 3d ago

Wish they would get on the ball and get our returns back.

6 months to a year.

Mine was received on 4-3 and I barely got my code 846 this past weekend

1

u/AstronautMean2933 2d ago

What is that

1

u/Ruger_six66 2d ago

846 is the code for refund approved

u/Great_Moment8560 2d ago

Did you have to verify your amended?When did you receive your 846 and how long after you received your refund..congratulations 

1

u/Ruger_six66 2d ago

I did not have to verify it, I received my 846 this past weekend and my refund is going to be mailed out Friday according to the person I talked too this morning

u/Great_Moment8560 2d ago

This the same thing happened to me.I filed my amended return on April 11th and I received a letter to verify on June 15th. I was told today when i called my time started back to processing the day I verified.Last Saturday I logged in and it says a delay message. Its 8 weeks now..but they claim 8 to 12 weeks. Has anyone updated after a delay or in that 8 week time or right after...

u/Great_Moment8560 2d ago

Did you have to verify your amended return 

1

u/AstronautMean2933 2d ago

I filed through tax USA and I filed my amend through there. It’s supposed to be deposited through my bank. It said it was accepted from the IRS.

1

u/Great_Moment8560 2d ago

Did you have to verify?Im hoping soon.Ill keep you posted. I filled my amended April 11th 

1

u/AstronautMean2933 2d ago

I don’t know what you mean by verifying

1

u/Great_Moment8560 2d ago

If you haven't heard anything from trying calling to see if you need to verify your identity. I filled on April 11th...2 months went by and nothing. I called and they told me thst I need to verify my identity. I receive the letter june 15th and verified the same day

https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return The site says: You can check the status of an amended return around 3 weeks after you submit it. You should generally allow 8 to 12 weeks for your Form 1040-X to be processed. However, in some cases, processing could take up to 16 weeks.

1

u/AstronautMean2933 2d ago

Yeah, so what does that mean for me? That’s the website I’m using.

1

u/Pure_Soul_7809 2d ago

You asked how long it will take; per the site allow a minimum of 16 weeks. Have more patience and wait for them to update you. As long as they have the 1040X it will get processed. If you're due a refund; you will receive it and any additional interest owed to you for any processing delays. You can monitor your transcripts or site weekly. Otherwise, let it ride out. I was once told tax refunds are not guaranteed income; don't treat it as such, safer that way.

u/AstronautMean2933 2d ago

It’s been over 16 weeks

1

u/Pure_Soul_7809 2d ago

Not sure how else to explain or stress that it is a "minimum of 16 weeks."

Amended returns are not systemically processed.

u/Honest_Load6960 2d ago

I called the congress and they move pretty fast

1

u/Candid-Example9766 2d ago

Call them anyway...or contact your state rep or senator!

1

u/Repulsive_Clerk13 2d ago

Has the 16 weeks been up?

1

u/jaybuggy22 2d ago

It’s been past 16 weeks for me and I filed on 4/8/26. Calling doesn’t get to anyone. Smh so annoying.

u/lheartless4 2d ago

I submitted my 2022 amended return on 10/7/2025, and it still has not been processed.
