Just wanted to share some good news for anyone worried about amended returns. My 2023 refund is finally approved and scheduled for direct deposit! I've been checking the Where's My Refund tool (sa.www4.irs.gov/ola/) and it now shows all three checkmarks - Return Received, Refund Approved, and Refund Sent! The website specifically says: "Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 12, 2025. If your refund is not credited to your account by February 17, 2025, check with your bank to see if it has been received." My exact refund amount is $8,076.72. I filed as Head of household, which is clearly displayed in the "Your personal tax information" section: Tax Year: 2023 Filing Status: Head of household Your refund amount: $8,076.72 I was really worried they'd send a paper check instead of direct deposit, but thankfully direct deposit is happening! The IRS tool has a note at the bottom that says "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I've been obsessively checking the IRS website multiple times daily (even though they clearly say updates happen only once a day). It's such a relief to see all three status checkmarks filled in now - Return Received, Refund Approved, and Refund Sent. The anticipation has been killing me! For anyone else waiting, I recommend bookmarking the direct link to the IRS refund status page (sa.www4.irs.gov/ola/) and checking it daily. The mobile app IRS2Go works great too if you prefer checking on your phone.
The IRS has really stepped up their game lately. Got my amended return DD in like 8 weeks, way faster than last year
