fr fr welcome to government efficiency at its finest lmaooo
yall need to chill fr its only been a few days. Last year I waited 6 months ๐คก
My WMR says ddd of 26th and all bars are full. Says my refund was sent. It is now the 28th and nothing. What is going on?! All fees were taken out.
Did you send it certified mail? With tracking? Always important with tax documents. Especially amended returns. Gives you proof of delivery. Peace of mind matters too. Have you checked your transcript online? Sometimes shows pending amendments.
You might want to consider submitting Form 911 (Taxpayer Advocate Service Application) if this is causing financial hardship or if your PCS timeline creates special circumstances. The Taxpayer Advocate can sometimes expedite processing when there are compelling reasons. The normal 20-week processing timeframe might be problematic with your military relocation timeline.
Based on IRS data from the last 2 years, amended returns are taking an average of 22.3 weeks to process (about 5.5 months), with some taking as long as 32 weeks (8 months). This is significantly longer than the 16 weeks they officially state. I've been tracking my own amended return which I filed exactly 19 weeks ago. The online tool still shows only "received" status. I called the IRS after week 16 and they confirmed it's still in the processing queue and hasn't been assigned to a reviewer yet. Patience is definitely required with amendments. The regular return processing system is highly automated, but amendments still require substantial human review.
I actually had a surprisingly positive experience with my amended return last year! Filed in early February 2023, and it was fully processed by mid-June - about 18 weeks. The key was e-filing the amendment instead of paper filing. My previous amendment (paper filed in 2021) took over 10 months to process. The e-file option for Form 1040-X has been a game-changer. Most tax software now supports e-filing amendments, and it cuts the wait time significantly. My refund check arrived about 2 weeks after the "Where's My Amended Return" tool showed "completed." Not as fast as regular returns, but much better than I expected based on horror stories I'd heard!
Tulsa here. Going on week 5 no deposit yet. Called OTC and got the generic 'still processing' response smh
Filed 2/15, got mine in exactly 4 weeks. Standard return no complications.
lucky you! im on week 6 with a basic return ๐ญ
this means theyre done processing whatever issue they had with ur return. usually refund comes like 2-3 weeks after
How did it go? Any updates
Did your refund hit your account yet?
how do you even read those things lol its like trying to understand hieroglyphics
I had my DDD on March 15th, and my WMR showed "refund sent" that morning. I was expecting it to hit my CHIME account that day based on previous years, but it didn't arrive until March 17th. When I called the IRS on March 16th, they explained there was a Treasury processing backlog due to the high volume of refunds being issued that week. Just a warning that even with today's DDD, there can be unexpected delays this time of year as we're right in the middle of peak tax season.
Just to clarify something important - the "refund arrived" status doesn't mean the money is in your bank yet. It only means the IRS has sent the payment instruction to the Treasury. Think of it like dropping a letter in the mailbox - it's sent but not delivered. With CHIME specifically, I've usually seen the money appear within 24 hours of that status change, but during busy periods it can take longer. If you need the money urgently, keep checking your CHIME app rather than the IRS website, as CHIME will update faster.
