Mailed 1040X: How long until IRS shows amended return in system?
Mailed my amended return to the IRS and they got it on the 30th (tracking confirmed delivery). Anyone know how long it typically takes to show up in the system? Getting anxious since I can't see any updates yet.

Former IRS employee here. Paper amended returns typically take 2-3 weeks to show up in the system after receipt. The processing time is 16 weeks minimum once it shows up, but realistically expect 20+ weeks in 2025. Keep checking Where's My Amended Return tool weekly.

Have you tried taxr.ai? Its an AI tool that analyzes transcripts and can tell you exactly what's happening with amended returns. Costs $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Super accurate! It reads all transcript codes and gives specific timeline predictions based on current IRS processing patterns

Pro tip: Next time file the 1040X electronically if you can. Paper returns are stuck in the stone age fr
