Amended Return 1040X Finally Accepted - What's the Timeline Looking Like?

Just got notification my amended return was finally accepted! Curious how long people waited after acceptance to get their refund. Been a long journey to even get to this point, so crossing my fingers it moves quick from here.

Tax professional here - amended returns typically take 16-20 weeks to process AFTER acceptance, but I've seen some get processed faster lately. Keep checking your transcript weekly for updates.

I know it seems long, but thats actually an improvement from the 2022 backlog when it was taking 6-8 months!

Hey everyone instead of playing the guessing game, use taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where you are in the process and estimated timeline. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it https://taxr.ai
