When should I get my refund?

Question

I turned in my state w-2's and 1040 ez form but i also sent in an amended return with it because i forgot to calculate an additional w-2 with my original return, but i mailed these all at once because i realized what i did before i went ahead and sent in my original form, i think i sent everything in about april/may? they said on the automated system it can take up to 180 but i think its been longer than this, just asking on here cause its too late to call right now, when should i get my return?

180 days*****

was also curious what is the possibility that it got lost in the mail or they didn't recieve it? guess thats what im mainly concerned about i don't care when i get it just that they received it, thanks

i actually have copies of everything just never got around to calling thanks

lol ah thats a great question i should have did that, too late now i guess, thanks for replying

Answer 1

If you had just corrected the original return and sent it, you would have had your refund by now, but with you sending a 1040ez with a 1040X at the same time, followed by a corrected 1040ez, you opened a can of worms. The only thing that might help speed up the process is to call the IRS and explain what you did. They can forward the information to the Service Center to notify them that the singular return is the correct return and to disregard the first 1040ez and the 1040x. You never send an original with an amended return.

1-800-829-1040 or 1-800-829-0922

Answer 2

You sent in an amended return at the same time as your original? Well, that should have confused things! Hard to tell when you might get your refund. Did you check "where's my refund" on irs.gov ? If that's where you saw the 180 days, you have to realize that 180 days is about 6 months, so it hasn't been anywhere near that yet. It takes a long time to get your refund from an amended return.

Answer 3

Amended returns always take longer because all the regular ones are handled first.

Why did you send them together instead of just filling out new forms???

Answer 4

You should have kept a copy of everything you sent it for your personal files. Pull those out and there should be contact information listed somewhere - phone # or address or something.
