Amended Return Approved - How to know if DD or Check for 11/22 DDD?

Hey, I can help with this! For amended returns, the IRS usually sends paper checks even if you requested direct deposit originally. However, you can check your transcript for code 846 which will tell you the exact payment method. I recently discovered taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) which analyzes your transcripts and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund, including payment method and expected date. It's been super helpful for amended returns since those can be tricky to decode.

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

Generally, amended return refunds are always issued as paper checks, even if you had direct deposit set up. IRS policy. You should expect it in the mail within 7-10 days after the DDD.

Hey! You should try taxr.ai - it'll analyze your transcript and tell you exactly how you'll get paid and when. It costs $1 but its worth it to stop guessing. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

in the same boat rn... mine shows 11/22 too! amended gang unite 😤

Check your transcript cycle code. If it ends in 05, probably paper check. If 02, might be DD but amended returns are weird tbh

your lucky to even have a date fr fr... been waiting since January 🤡

Congrats on finally getting a DDD! 🎉 For amended returns, it's usually a paper check regardless of your original filing method. The IRS typically doesn't do direct deposit for 1040X refunds. You should see it in your mailbox within 5-10 business days of 11/22. I'd recommend setting up informed delivery with USPS so you can track when it's coming!
