Code 291 basically means they adjusted your refund amount down from what you originally claimed on your amended return. It's super common with amended returns - they just found something they disagreed with in your calculations. The good news is that once you see 291, you're usually pretty close to getting your refund processed. I'd expect maybe 2-4 weeks before you see the money hit your account, but amended returns can be unpredictable timing-wise. Just keep checking your transcript for updates!
