But yesterday, the lumberjacks were dropping a lot of trees into the IRS flowage and when that happens log jams do occur.  Patience is a virtue to have early in tax season.

I'm curious, what is the reasoning behind an amended return....Not receiving a timely acknowledgement?

Curious because it was a concern for myself and the client.  It was amended because of the two hurricanes we had here in LA.  I've had other returns accepted and this return was sent before the other returns that were accepted.  Was there a problem with your concern?

No problem, the way the question was worded, I was under the mistaken assumption that you were amending due to not receiving a timely acknowledgement!
