the IRS will tell you 8-12 weeks
im on week 22 and counting
the toll free # for checking on refund status will not give you info about an amended return
you can check with your local IRS office but they will just tell you you have to wait
next time make sure you get it right the first time
i even hired h&r block to do mine and they screwed up, leaving me to file a 1040x
good luck...!!!
Forever it seems. I have been waiting over a year. I filed a 1040x for my 2009 taxes in March of 2011 and have yet to receive my adjusted refund.
Possibly about 8 to 12 weeks. This will NOT happen until the IRS finish processing the 1040X income tax return an accepts it as you filed it.
It all depends on how you file. If you file the standard "mail-in" way, expect a refund in 4-6 weeks. If you do them online or with a tax professional, the wait time is usually two weeks. Some tax professionals can file what is known as a "Refund Anticipation Loan", or RAL for short. For a fee, you can get your tax refund the next day, sometimes within hours. Be noted, however, that these are actual bank loans on your tax refund and not an actual refund itself.
The individual taxpayer CAN NOT change any thing on the W-2 form. The employer will have to issue a W-2C corrected W-2 form if an error has been made on the W-2 for. To correct an error on the original filed income tax return you will have to use the 1040X Amended Individual Income tax return available by going to the IRS gov website and use the search box for 1040X File a separate Form 1040X for each year you are amending. Mail each form in a separate envelope. Be sure to indicate the year of the return you are amending on the front of Form 1040X. The 1040X form has one column where the Correct Amount is the only figure entered, making it easier to make changes to previously filed returns. There is an area on the front of the form to explain why you are filing Form 1040X. Generally, to claim a refund, the Form 1040X must be filed within 3 years from the date of your original return or within 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Returns filed before the due date (without regard to extensions) are considered filed on the due date. Attach copies of any forms or schedules that are being changed as a result of the amendment including any Forms W-2 received after the original return was filed. The correctly filled out 1040X amended individual income tax return will have to be mailed to the correct IRS address and you can find the address in the instructions for the 1040X tax form. Normal processing time for Forms 1040X is 8 to 12 weeks from the IRS receipt date. Please Note: Your state tax liability may be affected by a change made on your federal return. For information on how to correct your state tax return, contact your state tax agency. Go to the IRS.gov website and use the search box for 1040X You can find the 1040X form and instructions at this website address You can find the 1040X form and instructions at the above website address.
The best way to get a fast refund is to file your claim as soon as you can get your W-2s back from your employer and get the direct deposit from the government that way you dont have to wait on a refund check to be processed and come in the mail.
If you overpaid the IRS, you can request a refund by filing a Form 1040X to amend your tax return. This form allows you to claim the overpayment and receive a refund from the IRS.

If you overpaid the IRS, you can request a refund for the excess amount. You can do this by filing a Form 1040X to amend your tax return or by contacting the IRS directly. They will process your refund and send you the extra money back.
I hear that if you go a year, you'll get 2-3 refund checks. You're going to have to wait a long time, though.

Taxpayer failed to file a tax return to claim a possible refund amount they had available to them if the refund amount is claimed in the 3 year time frame then the refund amount is no longer available to the taxpayer. Taxpayer filed a income tax return and failed to claim some of the credits that were available to them if the income tax had been filed correctly and the can now file the 1040X amended individual income tax return to correct the error that was made on the original file income tax return to claim the additional refund amount.
You cannot check the status of a refund for an amended return on the automated tax line or by accessing "Where's my Refund" on the website. Amended/corrected returns are processed as quickly as possible. However, it may take 8 to 12 weeks or longer to process the return. If 8 weeks have elapsed and you have not received your refund, call (800) 829-1040.
No, a 1040X is not the same as a 1040 form. A 1040X is used to amend a previously filed 1040 form if there are errors or changes that need to be corrected.
