All 3 bars completed on Where's My Amended Return - how long until 846 code?

Hey there! As someone who's dealt with amended returns quite a bit, I can tell you that even with all 3 bars showing complete on Where's My Amended Return, you're still looking at about 2-3 weeks for that sweet 846 code (refund issued) to show up. The IRS systems need time to process everything and schedule the deposit. I actually ran into this exact situation last month and used taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze my transcripts - it helped predict exactly when my refund would hit. Takes the guesswork out of the whole process tbh

From what I've seen working with amended returns, you're looking at about 2-3 weeks for the 846 code to show up after all bars complete. The IRS needs to do final processing and verify banking info. Keep checking your transcripts every Friday morning when they update.

Instead of checking manually everyday, I started using taxr.ai to monitor my transcript. It's only $1 and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than playing detective with those cryptic transcript codes lol https://taxr.ai

im in the same boat! completed 10/29 still waiting on 846 😤

Each case is different tbh. My amended return took like 2 months after bars completed bcuz they had to verify something else. The waiting game is brutal

these clowns at the IRS need to get it together fr. why we gotta wait so long after everything is 'completed' 🤡

Protip: call your local taxpayer advocate if it goes longer than 30 days after completion. They can sometimes speed things up

Been there! Mine took about 3 weeks after all bars completed to see the 846 code. The key is checking your account transcript on Fridays when they do weekly updates. Also, make sure your bank info is still current because sometimes they'll hold the refund if there's any mismatch. The waiting is the worst part but you're almost there! 🤞
