Key Takeaways
- WMR doesn't track amended returns; use the WMAR tool or the IRS app instead.
- Official IRS guidance is 8 to 16 weeks for Form 1040-X; the FY2025 average topped 5 months.
- WMAR has three statuses, and 'Completed' doesn't guarantee a refund is coming.
- Only call the IRS about a delayed amended refund after 12 weeks have passed.
While the IRS aims to process regular season tax returns and refunds within 21 days for the vast majority of filers, amended returns take quite a bit longer.
The IRS’s own current guidance is to allow 8 to 16 weeks for a Form 1040-X to process. In practice, it’s often longer: the National Taxpayer Advocate’s 2026 reporting found the IRS took an average of more than 5 months to process the 3.7 million amended returns it handled in FY2025, and as of early May 2026 the IRS was still working through amended returns filed back in February.
So it’s not surprising many taxpayers wait months for their amended return to clear, given ongoing IRS backlogs, identity verification checks, and staffing constraints.
Here are some tips that can get you a more real-time read on your amended return status and help make the wait less frustrating.
How Can I Check My Amended Return Status (WMAR)?
The standard WMR refund tool does not show your amended return status.
Use the IRS’s dedicated Where’s My Amended Return (WMAR) tool instead. It tracks Form 1040-X for the current year and up to three prior years.
The IRS app (formerly IRS2Go) also checks amended return status, with or without signing in.
There are 3 statuses in WMAR: Received, Adjusted, and Completed. Received confirms the IRS has your amended return loaded into its systems for processing — it doesn’t mean processing has actually started, since amended returns often require manual review and assignment to an examiner.
Adjusted means the IRS has completed its review and adjusted your return based on the amended information, which can result in an additional refund, a balance owed, or no change at all. You’ll get an IRS notice explaining the action taken.
Completed means the IRS has finished processing and sent any applicable notices or refunds. Importantly, as the next section covers, a completed status doesn’t automatically mean a refund is coming — additional taxpayer action could still be required.
When Does the WMAR Tool Update?
WMAR updates once a day, usually overnight, so checking multiple times a day won’t get you anything new. It typically starts showing information about 3 weeks after you submit your amended return, though this can vary. You’ll need your SSN, date of birth, and ZIP code to use it.
One limit worth knowing: you can only e-file up to three “accepted” amended returns per tax year. Any beyond that will get rejected and won’t show a status in WMAR.
Calling the IRS About Your Amended Return
If WMAR hasn’t updated in several weeks, you can call the IRS — but official guidance is to wait until 12 weeks have passed before following up on a delayed amended return refund.
The IRS’s dedicated amended-return line is 1-866-464-2050 (English and Spanish options available). Expect long waits — the IRS answered only about 21% of the roughly 48 million calls it received during the 2026 filing season, with average wait times around 14 minutes.

Using Your IRS Transcript for Amended Return Status
In addition to WMAR, your free IRS tax transcript can offer more detail on your amended return and refund.
Transcript codes 971 and 977 show that your amended return was received and is being processed. Many filers see these codes for months before anything changes — it can take a while to move to the next stage.
Watch for code 960 (appointed representative), which marks the date an IRS agent was assigned and began actively working your amended return — often a manual process. You may also see code 971 if a notice is issued, which may require you to provide additional information — instructions come with the notice or letter.
Once processing is complete, you’ll see code 846 (refund issued). Note the date — you should receive your payment within 2 to 5 days of it. If your refund was delayed past the standard 45-day window after the filing deadline, you’ll also see an interest amount credited; the IRS’s current overpayment interest rate for individuals is 7% for Q1 and Q3 2026 and 6% for Q2 2026, adjusted quarterly. This interest is taxable income and gets reported on a 1099-INT the following year.
Processing Complete, But No Refund Payment?
Even when WMAR shows Completed, some taxpayers don’t see the refund they expected. A completed status just means IRS processing has finished — the next step could be an additional tax assessment, a request for more information, or an adjusted (smaller or larger) refund rather than what you originally claimed.
Pay close attention to any notes or messages below the WMAR status bar, which give more insight into next steps. Check your transcript for details, and call the number listed in your notice if one was provided. Ultimately, you’ll need to wait for the IRS’s official notice to see what action was taken or what’s required from you.
How Long Will It Actually Take?
Given the NTA’s FY2025 average of over 5 months for amended returns — and the agency still working through February filings as of May 2026 — budget for a long wait if your amended return needs any manual review or additional verification. There isn’t much you can do to speed this up, including calling the IRS or the Taxpayer Advocate Service, beyond confirming nothing further is needed from you.
For general (non-amended) refund delays, see my full breakdown here.
IRS Amended Return Processing Schedule
Unlike regular refunds, which the IRS aims to process within 3 weeks, amended returns are prioritized behind regular returns and currently run 8 to 16 weeks by official guidance — longer in practice per the NTA’s most recent data. This has been compounded by IRS staffing cuts in recent years; the agency’s individual workforce was down roughly 27% heading into the 2026 filing season.
Amended return refunds can be paid via direct deposit rather than only mailed check, a change introduced a few years back — this option is available directly on Form 1040-X and should speed up and secure payment versus a mailed check.
Looking Ahead: 2027-2028
Watch for whether the IRS makes progress automating more of the 1040-X review process, a step the National Taxpayer Advocate has specifically recommended to cut down the backlog. I’ll update the processing-time figures here once the IRS or NTA publish new data for the 2027-2028 cycle.
Common Issues to Watch Out For
I hear from readers about the same handful of amended-return snags over and over. Here’s what’s usually going on and how to fix it.
WMAR shows “Completed” but the refund check never shows up. This is almost always an address problem. The IRS mails your amended-return refund to whatever address is on that specific 1040-X – not necessarily your current address, and not automatically your bank account even if your original return used direct deposit. If you’ve moved, file Form 8822 to update your address with the IRS, and don’t assume a reissue happens automatically: undeliverable checks get returned to the IRS and generally only get reissued after you contact them directly.
The refund that arrived is smaller than expected. Before assuming a math error, check whether the IRS applied some or all of it to an existing federal debt through the Treasury Offset Program – back taxes, defaulted student loans, or certain other government obligations. This usually comes with a separate notice explaining the adjustment, so check your mail (and your IRS transcript) before calling to dispute what looks like a shortfall.
WMAR says “no information available” even weeks after filing. Three common causes: a typo in the SSN/ZIP code combination you entered into the tool, a paper-filed amendment that simply hasn’t been logged yet (allow the full 3 weeks before WMAR shows anything), or amending a tax year outside WMAR’s tracking window – the tool only covers the current processing year plus the prior 3 years.
Filing a second 1040-X before the first one finishes. If you catch another mistake while an amendment is still processing, resist the urge to immediately file again – a second amendment on top of an unprocessed first one can reset or badly complicate WMAR’s tracking. Let the first one reach “Completed” status first whenever your situation allows it.
Confusing the federal WMAR tool with your state’s amended-return tracker. These are completely separate systems on independent timelines. If you also amended your state return, you’ll need to check your state’s own portal – the federal WMAR tool has no visibility into state processing at all.
Amending from owing money to getting a refund – does it cancel the debt, or do you get a separate check? This is a real point of confusion: if your 1040-X flips you from owing the IRS to being owed a refund, the amendment corrects your account rather than sitting alongside the old balance as a second, unrelated number. Once it fully posts, the corrected figure – including any resulting refund – is your one true balance, not two separate amounts you need to reconcile yourself. The catch is timing: the balance shown in your IRS Online Account can lag behind your amendment’s WMAR status by several weeks, so it’s common to still see the old balance displayed even after WMAR shows “Adjusted” or “Completed.” If your online account balance still looks wrong, check your tax transcript for the more current figure before assuming something’s gone wrong.
Been waiting since Feb ’21 and still says “pending”. This is beyond frustrating!
Feb ’22…my bad lol
Any updates?
Mine was received March 5, 2022
It says it was “processed” April 11, 2022
It shows $0.00 for tax owed or
penalties assessed.
It shows the credit which is my refund.
According to the transcripts, there’s absolutely no reason to be holding it; but hold it they are.
Mine was filed electronically.
@Janice Sounds like a call to the IRS , or to the IRS Tax Advocate Office to find out why.
I have seen others post an image of their transcript and shows when a refund will be issued in the future. Yours does not have that?
According to my tracking number, my amended return was delivered to the IRS 3/1/22. The WMAR page doesn’t even show that they haven’t even received it yet. Am I looking at a 20+ week processing time from whenever they finally mark it as received or could they have received it & not not marked it as received? I know that’s happened with my regular returns (it gets marked as “received” the day before the direct deposit is received). At what point do I worry that they haven’t received it or just lost it? Also, can you imagine the action they would have already taken on us if we owed them this kind of money? What a complete joke.
I think we all should report which tax office we all sent our amended returns to se we can all get an idea how each office is doing.
I electronically filed.
So did I…
March 16, 2022
Was received & accepted the same day.
No further actions at this point.
I would reach out to them, my return was delivered on 3/7/22. I was notified by May from the WMAR that they have received it. My new message from late June says that they still haven’t processed it yet. It took mine about 6-7 weeks for it just to show up in their system. I would call for sure!
Does anyone have a contact number, email address, anything? Everything I’ve found just takes me around in circles and then tells me to refer to the website
I mentioned in another thread that users on Reddit are reporting the WMAR is not accurate, and instead you should use the IRS online service to view your tax transcripts to see what is going on. You will have to set up a time consuming account with ID.me to use this service to verify your identity.
If nothing shows up there then should call the IRS Tax Advocate service at 1-877-777-4778
They received my amended return March 5, 2022. I have called them and they informed me that they are just now starting on February’s amended returns. It’s taken over five months this is ridiculous
How can they be on February when mine is from July of the previous year!? This is terrible!
What office/campus did you send yours to?
I’m curious how long it takes for them to get thru each months returns.
If they’re just getting to February, and it takes them 2-4 months, then march won’t even get looked at til October – December!!
Has ANYONE received their amended returns ?? I received my state-amended return already. I sent it on 3/7/22 nothing from federal though. Just keeps saying it was received but not processed.
I filed my amended return nov 2020, it’s august I still haven’t received anything every time I call they say it’s still being processed .. expect to wait a year.
Probably time for you to contact the IRS tax advocate
HOW DO YOU CONTACT IRS TAX ADVOCATE, MY ADMENDED TAXES WAS SENT IN 7/28/2021. STILL SAYING HASNT BEEN PROCESSED.
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
Wait NOVEMBER 2020 ????!!!
Nov of 2020!??
Have you received yours yet ? I been waiting 20 plus weeks also
I filed an amendment on my 2019 return. Sent it in in December of last year. Still cant even check the status! And of course cant get anyone to answer a call to see if they even received it!
No not yet
When did you get it back?
Tia
Check your transcript. The WMAR still shows error message for me. Received 3/2/22 but my transcript shows refund issued 09/02/2022. So we’ll see if they send the check Friday or ACH. Someone else said they actually got DD. I filed electronically.
@Bobbi yes you should receive a DD.What you can do is call you bank on the 1st to ask them if they see a deposit for you in their ACH warehouse dept because they can. As long as the number provided was correct routing and account number.
july of last year wow! i file march 5th still nothing .
Did you get your state at all? Did you call?
anyone receive their checks?
Only my state not the federal
I received my amended tax return direct deposit this morning!! It was accepted on march 1st.. So hang tight.. Its coming! The wait is frustrating and ridiculous for real!!
@Jeannie Gray, Did you send yours electronically, or via mail?
My papers were revived February 22 2022 and I’m going on 24 weeks of waiting. Has anyone got there amended tax return?
No. Mine was accepted March 3rd. I finally got ahold of someone at IRS and was told to call back Sept 9th which is 6 months after being accepted!!
That sounds about right. I some old returns in back in late 2020 & early 2021 and took them six months each time to issue a refund.
Mine was accepted 3/1, still nothing. I can’t get anyone on the phone.
Mine was accepted the same exact date 3/1 and I got my return via direct deposit this morning, I thought they were not doing direct deposit but I’m not complaining
I received my state but not the federal amended return. I sent it on 3/7/22 and only have the ” We received your return 3/7/22 however, it has not been processed”. I spoke with someone from the IRS in late June 2022 and they said this was the FIRST paper amendment he has seen this year. SOOOOO how can yall be working on these and you haven’t seen one ALL year… IT’S JUNE!!! He said to call back at 24 weeks if I don’t see anything. I asked if he could give me ANY type of time frame and he said no of course. I’m like will I see anything before the end of this tax year??!!! I am just going to check back in Nov and keep my fingers crossed!
We submitted our amended return February 22 the 20 week deadline ended July 12 called and got a hold of someone at the IRS and they said it’s taking up to 30 days past the 20 week deadline or longer! absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! If we owed them money you know they’d be blowing up our phone wanting immediate payment but they can take up to 6 to 8 months to send us our return and not even stick to a projected processing timeframe leaving families without their rightful return as we pay our monthly taxes on time with every paycheck !
That last part is exactly what I keep saying. I’m mentally at the point where I feel like I’m not getting my hard earned money until next year when I file for next next year’s 2022 taxes. This is absurd and quiet frankly down right wrong, I feel as though a loan with no interest and should have been given for the correct amount so therefore we don’t get the money we are owed because we got the money from a loan and no penalty on us.
I was seeing comments on Reddit saying the “Where’s My Amended Return” is not accurate and people should instead obtain your tax transcripts online where it will actually show you what is going on with your amended return and tax history.
You need to be verified through “ID dot me” to do this.
I edited my amended and they received it on March 5, 2022. The status on where’s my amended return states it was received in March 5th, but not yet processed.
My transcript says it was processed on April 11th! Somewhere is this mess I also had to verify myself..which I did right away.
So, like everyone else…I called at 20 weeks and they said to give them 30 more days.
Tomorrow is the 30 days..and nothing has changed.
@janice, another just posted they got a hold of the IRS and that office told them they just started on the Amended Returns received in February. From my experience in 2020/2021 it is taking them six months to process. I am guessing another month? Mine was received in late March.
That’s a bit of hopeful news. They received mine and “processed” on March 5th; but my transcript also says it was “processed” on April 11th, so who knows. I may try calling again; I’ll report any information back here.
I’ve been waiting 9 months! I said that exact thing to the irs rep on the phone the other day, if they needed money from us they’d swipe that shit right out of our bank acct.
No mine was 3/12/22 and still nothing that damn lying chart TELL u vs my check should came yesterday and nothing it make no since if that damn behind they need to open more office and hire more people
I’ve been waiting for 26 weeks now.
Mine was 58 weeks! But I finally got one of my ammended returns back. Still waiting on the other!
@Charli What office did you mail yours to?
Texas I think.
@Charli
Thanks for that response. I also sent mine to the Texas office. Hopefully it doe snot take 58 weeks for them to process mine. I sent some regular returns to that office back in late 2020 & early 2021 and each time it took them six months total by the time they sent a refund out.
The irs received my ammended return July 6th 2021 and I still haven’t got an update on a status change. Still says they haven’t processed them.
It’s been well over a year. This is so disheartening and sad. I work full time and dont have additional time to sit on the phone hoping to talk to someone.
Remember that they HAVE to pay you interest on your refund for taking so long! In July the percentage rate just went up so make sure they include that extra $$ in your refund!
I’ve been waiting since August 4th of 2021 they said they got my amended taxes it will be a year August 4th 2022! Still nothing the number on the site doesn’t help with shit smfh! Idk when I’ll get mines. It’s frustrating that no one can tell me anything but keep waiting and hoping
We filed our amended return in August 2021 and it was processed April 2022. We still have not received any notices or our refund.
They are just massively unorganized it seems. We can never get through on the phone and when we do they never have an answer.
They are lying it can’t take them that much longer to do amended returns. Think about it. Computers do everything like that now…it doesn’t take that long for a computer to get info from a form and add up numbers.
Unfortunately amended returns have a high degree of manual reviews – so no computers and why the delays (IRS staffing shortages).
What would happen if we send it out again?
Don’t do that. That will delay it the more.
Either way it doesn’t make a difference we can’t make them process it any faster. We are sitting ducks.
Does anyone know if the above table is correct?

Its an estimated schedule. Due to IRS staffing shortages, manual reviews of amended returns are taking even longer than normal.
My amended returned was received on April 9th2022 and on July 28th i believe it states that Take action, we apologize message. What do that mean?
If it has that number to call with Ext. 623 or something like that it’s nothing. Just them letting you know that you are still in the processing stage. It’s a message they put if anyone still is in processing after 20 weeks. Don’t call unless it says to take action because you have forms or something you need to send in. Otherwise, you will be on the phone for 2 hours for someone to tell you … Yup we got it, no we haven’t processed it, no I don’t know when it will be processed, call back in another 4 weeks.
No it is not. My amended return was received Feb 20, 2022. Still nothing.
No this is not correct I have not got mine back and filed Feb 20, 2022.
No it is not! Ours was received Feb 25 and nothing yet.
Has anyone received their amended returns yet. My amended return was accepted on 3/24 and it’s been almost 18 weeks and no one will help me. I never even received my original refund.
Have you tried calling a live agent? Amended returns are taking several months, so you are not alone, but if the WMAR tool is not updating, I suggest calling an agent (details in article above)
Calling in won’t help we will be lucky if we get the returns this tax year and not when we file for 2022. I am not hopeful I spoke with them yesterday and all I got was they are backed up and they hope they will get it out soon.Mines still has not been processed but was received February 28th of this year.
Did you get ur return yet?
Mines too. I had to amend mines in order to receive my taxes and so far I only had a minor update on my transcript. The as of date went from April 15, 2022 to August 8, 2022. Hopefully mines is getting back around again for an update. (Keyword: hopefully) My last year amended taxes got updated exactly 1 year and 1 week from April 2, 2021 this year. I wouldn’t mind working for them to help out
When u say accepted did it show on the tool it was accepted?
No on the tool it shows the notice about further action. But they received the return it just hasn’t not been processed. There fore it waiting in a for someone to get to it. When I called them I was told ma’am we don’t have a time frame we are backed up. So I asked will I get my return this year she stated ma’am were working on it I hope you do we are extremely short staffed also.
Did you get it yet
No I’m still waiting also I did mines Feb 15 2022
Mine was accepted the same day as yours and still no nothing. Says wait 20 weeks which is Aug 11th. If nothing by then IRs said to call them
Mine is at the 20 weeks last week and still has not been processed. I am still waiting and when you call in they are very rude and tell you not to call back for an additional 30 days.
I’ve been calling because we are in week 26 and I can’t get through to a human….
Mine was received/across February 28th and I haven’t received mine yet. 20 weeks was July 18th
Mine was excepted the 17th and it hasn’t been processed yet.
Mine was received 3/7/22 and I still haven’t received it either
Same as mine, have yu got any updates?
Mine was accepted that same day. I got my state amended return but nothing for federal. I called that number listed and all they said is that they are still working on them and to call back in 4 weeks.
Mines was accepted on Jan 2022 I’m still waiting can’t get any answers on the phone, this is terrible for the American People.
I got a letter saying it was adjusted on 7/22/2022. The letter also said it would be 21 days after the adjustment date. So hopefully I get it early September.
When was your amended return received? Mine was received February 15th.
When did you file yours
When did yu amend?
Did it update online to say that as well?
I called because I filed my amended return March 7th. They said give it 30 more days from July 22nd.
Yep, got that as well. 3/5 for me-asked for 24 weeks which was supposed to be finalized last Monday. Still nothing.
Mine was filled on Nove. 17, of 2021!! i have been waiting for 9 months! i used to call and was able to get through but at least a 2 hr wait.. now i cant even.. it just transfers u and say due to the high call volume..blah blah blah.. call back later! i am beyond frustrated!!
Ours was received on 3/03. Still nothing 20 weeks and 4 days and counting.
Prepare to wait longer. It’s been 21 weeks for us and we have no answers.
April 11 is when I sent my amend and it’s still processing they are behind instead of 16 weeks it’s taking over 20. I guess nothing we could do but wait!
I filed my amended return on Feb 24,2022 called and called finally got in contact with a customer service Rep she told me it 20 weeks and to call in a few days my status is not processing yet !
I know calling wouldn’t help me so I didn’t try, but I submitted mine on the same day, it was accepted on the 25th still nothing. It’s been over 20 weeks for me.
Hello. Have you received it yet?
No, I called TAS and they told me to wait too, since it was already assigned to someone in February 28th
I been waiting fir mine to get process since January 26 2022. The lady I spoke with last month had a vetter attitude then the one I spoke with today. Some of the newbies they hired are rude and unprofessional.
Did you ever receive your refund?
Like Oh my goodness i have been calling the IRS phone number since June 16th and I filed an amended return on Feb-22-2022 and still haven’t gotta anything
Amended 2019/19&20, received Dec 1st 2021, waited 16 weeks then called, told wait 20 weeks, called again and told wait 24 weeks, called again and told to call the tax advocate, called them twice and finally got someone on the case, told it would take 9 weeks and it’s been 4 so far. Sad when u have to call one government agency to tell another government agency to do their job.
U have to call early in the morning just to be on hold for awhile to talk to the IRS.
Jackson Hewitt did amend refund on April 1st 2022 electronically and when I check the on wheres my amended refund it tells my information does not match can you help.
What number did you jave to call to get it going? I have the one thats on the website but the person I spoke with was rude and unable to answer my questions. I been waiting since January 26 2022 since they accepted my amended tax return. Ive beeb calling the last 3 months with the same thing being told call back in 30 days.
I sent my amended return July 1, 2021 still not processed and can never get a hold of anyone in that department. I was told the department has been overwhelmed with calls.
Did u get yours yet
Wow so sorry to hear that. I sent mine in July 2021 still not processed and can never talk to anyone in that department
I mailed in my return to be amended. My tracking number states that it was received by the irs on 2/14/22 when I check the WMAR site it basically says no info and to call the number listed. I have been unable to get in touch with a representative. Any advice?
Did you receive it yet
mine say the same thing have you received an update yet
Yeah evetime call can’t get threw
I waited on hold for representative for an hour and 18 minutes and finally got a hold of somebody, my taxes were accepted on March 1st. The lady was very nice and said that all she could tell me was there was no problem it just hasn’t been gotten to yet, that they are behind and to check back at 20 weeks, it was 20 weeks a week ago but I’m not calling again I’m going to wait at least 24 weeks. But don’t worry I don’t think there’s any problems that message is coming up for everybody so you should be fine. It’s just a waiting game now
Waste of time to talk to them they hired some rude ppl to put u on hood again n tell u keep waiting.
how did you get a tracking number?
probably from USPS
I just put mine in the mail, I didn’t go to the post office. Should I resend? I mailed it out waaay back in Dec of ’21 and and anytime I try and look up a status on it on the app, it says my information doesn’t match anything in their system.
I sent in my 2018 amended tax return and it was received June 23, 2021 and it still hasn’t been processed. I have called several times and I am unable to connect with anyone.
Call 1/800/829-1040 options 1 for english and 7 amended tax info. The voice prompt may come to get you to talk to the automated voice but just keep asking or representative until it says it will pass you thru. Once there is a clear line, because it will say it will put you thru, but sometimes the voice promt will tell you no one is available. Once you hear that hang up and call back and hit 1 then 7 keep doing that until you get through. You may have to do this 2 to 3 times but you will get thru. There will be a wait but hold on a representative will come on, and when that happens you can give the rep the needed information that they ask for then they can check.
The representatives have no more information than what is listed online when checking “where is my amended return”
Thanks. But they can help in other ways to escalate your case. So it is still worth contacting your local rep if your return has pending for several months.
I am in the same boat now with both tax years . I sent mine in March 21’ still not processed and cannot contact anyone .
Same here, 2018 amended sent Sept 27 2021 and says still waiting to be processed
Did anyone get there’s back yet?
My transcript also said I would receive an update by 8/29/22. My status went from received to adjusted. I filed mine 7/6/21!
The where’s my amended return has no update on mine, just the revived march 2,2022 and error message. However, my transcript says issued, Sept 2,2022. So I assume it will be mailed out Friday. I highly suggest going off tax transcripts. Check the record of payment margins. Hope this helps! I’ll update when I actually receive mine!

Thanks for that update. Which office did you send yours to?
