Wondering where your amended return could be?

A new tool, provided by the IRS, allows you to check the status of a Form 1040X, Amended Tax Return, for current and up to three prior years. The new tool “Where’s My Amended Return?”  is generally taking up to 12 weeks from the date received to process an amended return.  Once mailed, It takes about 3 weeks to show up in the system. The application does not show restricted interest claims or tentative carryback refund claims (Form 1045).
