After 1 Year Wait: $11,103 Amended Return Finally Approved - Refund Scheduled for February 24, 2025
After waiting a whole year, I finally got confirmation my amended return was approved! Just logged into the IRS system and got the official update for my 2023 tax year. I filed as Head of household and my refund amount is showing as $11,103.52! The system shows my status as: - Return: Received ā - Refund: Approved ā - Refund Sent: In progress There's a message that says: "Your tax refund is scheduled to be mailed by February 24, 2025. If you do not receive the refund by March 24, 2025, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then." Got this notification at the bottom too: "For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates on refund status are made no more than once a day." Just checked my tax transcript and everything looks official now - they're definitely mailing the refund and I have to wait until after March 24th to contact them if it doesn't show up. My personal tax information section confirms: - Tax Year: 2023 - Filing Status: Head of household - Refund amount: $11,103.52 - Refund date: February 24, 2025 If anyone else is waiting on amendments, keep the faith lol. The wait is brutal but seeing that approval finally come through makes it worth it!

The tax transcript shows a substantial refund of $11,103.52 for tax year 2023, filed under Head of Household status. The IRS has approved the amended return and scheduled the refund to be sent by mail on February 24, 2025. A key detail is the 30-day grace period - if the refund doesn't arrive by March 24, 2025, you'll need to follow up with the IRS. No action can be taken before this date. The timing shown in the transcript is typical for amended returns, which often take longer to process than regular returns. You can track your refund status through two official channels: the IRS website or their mobile app IRS2Go. Be aware that these status updates only occur once per day, so checking multiple times within 24 hours won't show new information. The Head of Household filing status shown in your transcript is particularly significant as it typically offers more favorable tax brackets and a higher standard deduction compared to filing as single, which likely contributed to your substantial refund amount.
