Where's My Amended Refund? IRS

If you have not yet received your amended refund from the IRS, you can use this tool to track the status: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Please read the instructions on this page.

This tool is specifically for a 1040-X, you will not be able to check the status of business returns, returns with a foreign address, carryback applications and claims, injured spouse claims, form 1040 marked as an amended or corrected return (instead of 1040-X), or returns processed by special units such as Examination or Bankruptcy.

You can check the status on an amended return around 3 weeks after you submit it. You should generally allow 8-12 weeks for processing, but it can take up to 16 weeks.

Once we have submitted your tax return, Westside Income Tax does not have any special insight on where it is at in the processing stage. This tool allows you to see if and when it has been processed and if the refund has been approved or sent.

Make sure you have your information ready. You will need:

Your social security number

Your date of birth

Your zip code

**NOTE: This page will only allow you a few attempts before it will not let you try again until the next day. Please make sure your info is accurate when you submit**

Please follow the instructions on the results page if you need to contact the IRS.

Please be aware that if you ask us to contact the IRS on your behalf we charge a $150 fee for the service.
