How long after amending 2023 taxes to see transcript updates?
Just amended my taxes last week cause I forgot a w2. Anyone know how long it normally takes to see any changes or updates on my transcript? The where's my amended return tool just says received.

Tax expert here. Generally, amended returns (Form 1040-X) take about 16 weeks to process, though we're seeing longer delays lately. The IRS's Where's My Amended Return tool updates every 3 weeks, but transcripts usually update weekly. Pro tip: if you want a really detailed analysis of your transcript and potential timeline, check out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that scans your docs and gives you super specific feedback about delays and processing times. Been recommending it to my clients lately since the IRS has been so backed up.

•Yeah its totally legit! You just upload your docs and it analyzes everything - saved me hours of explaining stuff to clients. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

•Pro tip: call right when they open at 7am EST. Way shorter wait times

Amended returns typically take 16 weeks to process, but right now the IRS is taking 20+ weeks for many people. You probably won't see transcript updates for at least 3-4 weeks after filing.

Hey, I was in your shoes last month. I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it actually showed me exactly where my amendment was in the process. Worth the $1 to actually know whats going on instead of playing the waiting game. https://taxr.ai
