After amendment letter from IRS - still no refund. How much longer??

Tax professional here with 15+ years experience. After receiving an amendment letter from the IRS, the typical processing time is 16 weeks, but lately I've been seeing it take anywhere from 20-30 weeks due to backlogs. The best way to track your progress is through your transcripts, but they can be confusing to interpret. I've been recommending taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to my clients - it's an AI tool that analyzes your tax documents and gives you a clear timeline of when to expect your refund, plus explains any holds or delays. It's been super helpful for amended returns especially since those can be tricky to decode.

okay fam, i paid for taxr.ai and this is what I get back:

Tax pro here - typically after receiving the amendment completion letter, you should expect your refund within 2-3 weeks. However, if there were any adjustments or additional reviews needed, it could take up to 6 weeks. Have you checked your transcript for any updates?

Hey everyone - I've been seeing a lot of confusion about transcripts lately. I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. It costs $4.99 but honestly saved me hours of googling and stress. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 8 months after my amendment letter 🤡

Mine took exactly 4 weeks after the letter. hang in there!

Pro tip: call your local taxpayer advocate office if it goes past 6 weeks. They can actually help move things along sometimes

did u verify your identity on id.me? sometimes that holds things up even after amendment is processed

Been in the same situation - got my amendment letter 6 weeks ago and still waiting. From what I've learned lurking here, it really depends on what was changed in your amendment. Simple math errors usually process faster, but if you claimed additional credits or deductions, they might do extra verification. Have you tried calling the amended return hotline (866-464-2050)? The wait times are brutal but sometimes they can at least tell you if there are any issues holding it up.
