Filed 1040X Amendment Before Original Return Processed - What Happens Next?
Filed my taxes back in March but noticed a huge mistake. Had to submit an amended return in April, but my original return hasn't even been processed yet. Starting to worry because I haven't seen any movement on either return. Anyone else dealt with this? What happened in your case?

Tax pro here - DO NOT file an amended return before your original is processed. The IRS systems can't handle it and it will cause major delays. You'll need to wait for the original to complete processing first. Your amended return might get automatically rejected or stuck in limbo.

Could be 6-8 months honestly. The system needs to process them in order.

Hey guys just wanted to mention I found this amazing tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand my transcript situation. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it - showed me exactly why my returns were delayed and what to expect next. https://taxr.ai
