Amended returns

[Jodie]

After discovering an error that is holding everything up and changing the refund by over a grand. Error on HR blocks part. Having to paper file the amended return. Hopefully doesn’t take forever to get the money. Anyone had to amend return already??

[lonniemaye]

Does your amended return show thats its be received? And for tax advocate just Google it and the number comes up but I don’t know if they’re still working or how they’re working right now.

[Jessnicci]

Anyone know how to contact tax advocates. I could really use some more info on my return. I’m due a few grand which could really help right now and it’s all based on my amended return. A little advice. I’ve read that they are allowing people to fax info that would otherwise need to be mailed but I don’t know if that includes amended returns.

[Jodie]

It usually is best to wait until you get the refund but in my case the refund was not going to be coming there was an error that had to be fixed. Not a little one either.

[Alyssa Mai]

You cannot file an amended return to you receive your money so make sure you get it first. I did it last year and it took 6 weeks and I got a paper check. Don’t know if it will be longer since it’s is understaffed cause of the virus.

Quainey the date that’s it. Was under review

[Jodie]

Transcripts finally updated and shows new info! Got a refund issue date of 4/22! But wmar still hasn’t moved so out of curiosity checked wmr with original information and shows refund approved! With same 4/22 date.

[Quainey]

@Lovelygrl
What did your transcripts update too? I mailed mine March18 and still nothing on the website or transcripts

[Lovelygrl]

Still not showing on wmar mailed 3/2. Trans updated to 4-27 today though that’s it.

@jodie14
Aw no really? I thought they said they weren’t shutting these places down? It’s crazy because someone stamped my certified card and sent it back

[Jodie]

Thats the second place we were advised to send ours to. Spoke with someone end of last week they said that office has been shut down for at least 2 weeks. Ours shows on where my amended return since March 6th. Hasn’t changed since then.

[Quainey]

I just amended my return sent from Postal Service certified March 18, stamp on my Certified card says they received it March 24. Hopefully they fix it and fix it fast. Anyone advised by a tax advocate to send straight to Advover, Ma? That’s where my tax advocate says they will handle the freeze due to overpayment I added a previous tax return to my 2019 tax return. That’s all I had to go to fix my field taxes so hopefully this place is legit and the right place to have sent these forms.

[Lovelygrl]

I’m not sure..you should try calling Monday to see. Amends can take 16 weeks

[Taxmex]

Hi! I filed in March 17 on TT and got accepted on the same day. But I found a mistake on my tax return! They computed wring and missing my income on 1099 misc. Should I wait till 21days and call IRS? When should I file amended tax return? Since it has been only 10days. I am not sure what to do? I need my refund badly. Please help!

[Lovelygrl]

Still dont show

[KCpride]

anyone that updated last week receive theirs or get a ddd today?

[Lovelygrl]

Mailed mine 3 weeks ago to kansas, mo. Everything’s shut down, just a heads up. Maybe a long time because of this virus. Stay hopeful💕

[Lovelygrl]

First class? Twinkle33

[Twinkle33]

Mine was mailed February 28th

[Lovelygrl]

It’s crazy. Put god first though.

[Jodie]

Oh. Hopfully it shows up for you. This whole year is a pain so far. I hope so going to need something if they shut everything down and people can’t work. Bills are still going to be there needing to be paid.

[Lovelygrl]

@jodie it was just first class regular Mail. He didn’t see it when I called. Said to give it another week…u think we will get a stimulus?

[Jodie]

Did you priority mail it? That’s what we were advised to do. But overnighted it to be sure. I hope it doesn’t take much longer.

[Lovelygrl]

Oh okay I should’ve done that.

[Jodie]

No. I was told advocates can’t help with amended return unless they’ve been processed for over 30 days or something like that cause I did try to get one. We over nighted ours with FedEx.

[Lovelygrl]

@jodie14 I mailed my amended before you. March 2. Mine isn’t showing..how is this possible? U got an advocate? 🤔🤔

[Lovelygrl]

When did y’all mail y’alls? How many weeks did it take to appear on wmar?

[Jodie]

mine finally shows. Hopefully they are quick with it. Could definitely use the money with everything going on.

[Twinkle33]

My amendment finally showed on wmar after they received it 3/3. This shit is almost over.

[NedQuik]

My amended was delivered 3/9 to the IRS.
It shows processing now 3/20 online

[TXGal]

I went under review in 2019 for 2018 tax year, receiving my refund plus $200+/- in interest, which I forgot to include in 2019 taxes. This is why I’m delayed and under review this year! I just amended my return and mailing it in today. See if this year I get it before Dec! Ha! Please note: Not taking bets.

[Lovelygrl]

Mailed mine 3/2 still not showing yet u?

[Jodie]

Nothing has showed up yet. Also been told by an advocate that they can’t help this year with amended returns after it has been a certain amount of time. So guess it’s just a waiting game.

[Twinkle33]

Im still waiting uugh

[Lovelygrl]

Y’all amended returns show up yet? I’m still waiting.

[Lovelygrl]

You can amend whenever u want… I’m not waiting on a review. That’s just my pref. My employer supposedly sent also just attached them anyways..they ask for everything anyway 😥

[Zee]

Wait if i missed a few W2 but my employer sent them in, do i still need to send mine? The IRS guy said they had already contacted the employer……

Also I’m hearing to amend after you receive funds? But what if funds don’t come before 60 days are up?

[Lovelygrl]

Hey I filed on last week. They told me 45-60 day review so I refuse to wait that long. I added my w2s and a 1099misc that I forgot to file.

It takes them about a month to process them or at least it did for me in 2017.

[Jodie]

Yeah they caught it. When I called the lady walked over my return with me to show me the error. So I’m not getting anything until its fixed.

[ddddd]

Yeah, i made a small error that caused them to refund me an extra almost $200 in 2014. I filed myself. I caught the error in my taxes while doing my sisters taxes. They still sent the refund, though II suspect if it’s thousands of dollars something gets triggered., I amended before April 15th. As long as you do it before then, you won’t get any penalties/fines/trouble.

[Twinkle33]

Oh ok I sent mine with UPS tracking. It didn’t take long for them to get it but of course it will take longer for us to probably be able to track it, meaning the IRs wont show it as received until a couple of weeks. :(

[Jodie]

I haven’t sent it yet have to go pick it up from HR block will be sending it tomorrow.

[Twinkle33]

@jodie
Right so its best that you went ahead and send in the 1040x. I sent that in with all of my w2’s and my 1099. If it takes too long im going to ask for a Tax Advocate cause I needs my funds.

[Jodie]

I hope its rather quick. Last year we had issues and didn’t get our refund until middle of June.

[Jodie]

We won’t be getting the return from what I was told. I’m not sure what to do. It would have them over paying us.

[Twinkle33]

I dont think they are sending checks out until you do the amendment with all this new stuff they have going on. The IRS is holding the funds up and not releasing.

[ddddd]

I had to amend a return a few years ago. I waited until I received my refund, then filed the amended return with the check for what they overpaid me. It was ~$200. They accepted the amended return and the payment came out of my account about 2 weeks after I sent it. Not sure how it works for refunds. I had read back then that if you make a mistake it’s best to correct after you receive your refund.

[Twinkle33]

I apologize for the typos

[Twinkle33]

Yes I have the exact same issue with approximately the same amount difference ij my refund. When the TA yold me to send the amendment, she told me to go ahead and do it because they are working them rather quickly. I hope this is true. I do not want to wait three months for my refund.
