I'm not sure two weeks is really enough time to be concerned. The IRS might say 21 days, but that's more of a guideline than a rule. Many returns with investment income get additional scrutiny. Have you considered that your capital gains might have triggered additional verification? Maybe your return is just in a queue waiting to be processed. The system isn't always transparent about these things.

I've seen this happen dozens of times with investment income. Last year, I had a client with significant capital gains whose return didn't show up on transcripts for nearly three weeks. Then it suddenly appeared with all processing steps completed at once. The IRS batches certain types of returns for efficiency. Your timeline isn't unusual at all. Have you checked your Return Transcript specifically? Sometimes that updates before the Account Transcript does.

The address depends on whether you're including a payment or not. Unlike regular returns where you can just look up your state, amended returns have different routing: Without payment (Georgia resident): Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0052 With payment (any state): Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 1214 Charlotte, NC 28201-1214 This is different from how regular returns are handled, where the address is purely state-based. If you recently divorced and changed your address, make sure your current address is clearly indicated on the 1040-X so any correspondence comes to the right place.

I successfully submitted my amended 1040-X for tax year 2023 last month from Atlanta. Used the Austin, TX address per the IRS instructions. The key was using certified mail with return receipt requested (USPS Form 3811). This provided me with definitive proof of delivery and receipt by the IRS. The tracking showed delivery within 4 business days. I appreciate everyone's input on this thread - extremely helpful for navigating post-divorce tax adjustments.

The IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) is your best resource for tracking. It updates once daily, usually overnight. The TurboTax advance is completely separate from the IRS process. Your refund timeline is determined by IRS processing, not by TurboTax or the advance you received.

You should understand that the Refund Advance Program from TurboTax is technically a Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) underwritten by a third-party bank. The IRS processing timeline remains unchanged regardless of this product. The standard e-file processing sequence includes Transmission, Acceptance, Processing, and Disbursement phases. Your return is currently in the Processing phase, which typically concludes within 21 days of acceptance for non-complex returns.

I dealt with this exact situation on January 15th this year. The key distinction is between 'Home of Record' (military administrative term) and 'State of Legal Residence' (tax term). For tax purposes, your military income is only taxable in your state of legal residence. If you've maintained California as your legal residence (kept CA driver's license, still vote there, intend to return), then you file as a CA resident and MO nonresident. You'll need to file Form 540NR for California and Form MO-NRI for Missouri. On the Missouri form, you'll exclude military income under the SCRA exemption. The deadline for filing is April 15th, 2024, so you still have time to get this sorted correctly.

I was in a similar situation with Washington (home of record) and Virginia (stationed). Much easier than your situation though since Washington has no income tax! But the principle is the same as others have mentioned - it's about where you're legally domiciled, not where you're physically stationed. Just like when I moved from Texas to Virginia but kept Texas as my legal residence, you need to be careful about which state you've established as your actual legal domicile. So relieved when I finally figured it all out last year!

Be careful about checking too frequently. According to the IRS website FAQs, transcripts typically update once per week, usually on Friday nights/Saturday mornings. I've been tracking this for several years and found that obsessively checking doesn't make it go faster. In fact, some have reported being temporarily locked out of their accounts for too many login attempts. Best to check once per week, preferably on Saturday mornings when the weekly cycle completes.

OMG I was freaking out about this exact thing last month! After verification, my transcript updated in 7 days - I was so happy I actually cried! The relief was incredible. My husband thought I was crazy but he didn't understand how stressful the waiting game was. Just hang in there - it WILL update, and when it does, the refund usually follows pretty quickly after that. Sending good vibes your way!
