Tax examiner forwarded return to adjustment dept - how long for refund release after WMAR shows completed?

My amended return needed a signature so I overnighted it back in September. WMAR shows completed Nov 15 but transcript hasnt updated. Just got off the phone with tax examiner who said they forwarded it to adjustment department for refund release. Anyone know how long this usually takes?

Tax professional here - typically when a return gets forwarded to adjustments after verification, you're looking at 2-3 weeks for processing. Keep checking your transcript daily for updates, specifically the 846 code which indicates refund issued.

Transcripts are way more accurate than WMR. WMR can lag behind by weeks sometimes 👍

Instead of playing detective with your transcript, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it! https://taxr.ai

The IRS is actually moving faster on adjusted returns now since they cleared most of their backlog. Your timing is pretty good tbh
