1040X Amendment filed 6 months ago - still no updates. Should I contact IRS examiner?
Filed my amended return back in August and still nothing. The Where's My Amended Return tool just shows received. Getting worried since its way past the 16 week processing time they claim. Anyone know if I should try reaching out to an examiner? If so how do I even do that?

Tax professional here. Yes, you should absolutely contact an examiner at this point. Call the IRS at 1-866-464-2050. Best times to call are early morning (7am EST) or just before closing (6pm EST). Expect long wait times. Pro tip: use the Spanish line and press 2 for English - usually shorter wait times.

Hey! Instead of spending hours on the phone, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your amendment and when to expect it. Costs $4.99 but saved me so much time and stress. https://taxr.ai

Is this legit? How does it work exactly?

Super legit! You just upload your transcript and it uses AI to break down everything - tells you about holds, processing stages, estimated completion dates. Even suggests what documents you might need.
