According to the IRS, this usually takes 8-12 weeks but can take longer. It can take up to 8 weeks before the IRS will even show the return in their system. I'd recommend mailing all ammended returns with delivery confirmation so that at least you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that they have in fact received it. I filed an ammended return this year myself- sent it in on March 20th. I was notified today, June 30th, after calling the IRS, that my check would be mailed out this Friday, July 3rd. Unfortunately, ammended returns take a very long time to process. I know how you feel though- it's no fun waiting when you need the money now.

What comes first state or federal income tax check?
I live in Michigan and after e-filing my 2010 taxes I received my state check first. The state check came in the mail a little less than 2wks. I've yet to receive my federal return.
What to do if you filed your taxes got your return but forgot to submit another tax form?
First, the set tax forms that you fill out and send to the government is called a "return." The check that you get back from the government is called a "refund" -- not a return. If this form affected the amount of tax that you should have paid or was a material omission of something you were supposed to disclose on your tax return, then you file what is known as an amended return. To file an amended return, recalculate your taxes. Fill out a new Form 1040 with the new, changed amounts. Mark the top of each page that has changes on it with the word "AMENDED" in big letters. Then fill out Form 1040-X: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040x.pdf 1040-X instructions are here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf Staple only the pages of your tax return that have changes on them (and only the changed version of the pages) to Form 1040-X and mail. You can use a computer to prepare your amended return (most tax software packages have a provision for creating an amended return), but when you are done you must print out the pages and mail them in. Your state should also have a form similar to 1040X for filing amended state returns.

If i had to file an amended tax form which caused you to owe will you still get a stimulus check?
If you did not owe anything on the original return, it probably comes down to timing. The question is will they process the amended return before they send out a stimulus check. It could easily go either way -- it's possible that they will send the stimulus check before they get around to processing the amended return.
