If you're wondering about your amended tax return status, the IRS provides tools to check the status of your amended return.
To check the IRS amended refund status, you can use the Where's My Amended Return? tool on the IRS website.
The tax amendment status look-up is only available for the current year and the three prior years. The IRS does not send a confirmation when the amended return is received. You can check the Where's My Amended Return? link to see if the IRS has received the return and to track the status of the return.
You will need to know:
- Social Security Number of the primary taxpayer (first person listed) on the return
- Date of Birth of primary taxpayer
- Zip Code listed on tax return
Please allow at least three weeks from date of mailing to check for the status of the amended return. The amended return can take up to 16 weeks to be processed. Remember, checking your IRS Where's My Amended Return? status regularly can help you stay informed about your refund.
