They are saying 24+ mos on amended tax returns. So, I would say wait a year at least. I have a simple 1040X waiting since May. They do acknowledge the amended tho.

Patience - that's all you have to work with when dealing with the IRS these days.

Have you tried the IRS online tool for amended returns?

I don't know the source of the 24-month claim.  The latest from IRS is,

"As of January 1, 2022, we had 2.3 million unprocessed Forms 1040-X. We are processing these returns in the order received and working hard to get through the inventory. The current timeframe can be more than 20 weeks instead of up to 16."

Patients -- that's all the hospitals have to work with when dealing with Covid these days.  

I read the 24 plus somewhere........I "think" it was in a Kiplinger letter I receive monthly.

"The current timeframe can be more than 20 weeks instead of up to 16." - Ooooooh, maybe it was 20 that i read and then boosted it up?

24 sounds better!! 😂🤣

Kiplinger is right up there with Fox News as an authoritative source.  But 2 years is more than 20 weeks, so you could be right.  

oh WT actual F..............I see now where I goofed up. I did type 24 mos. 

Im like Homer Simpson "DOH!!"
