Question

How can I track the status of Form 1040X?

Answer

The status of a Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return can be tracked by going to www.irs.gov and clicking Where's My Amended Return?, or by calling 866.464.2050.

The "Where's My Amended Return?" tool provides the status of Form 1040X, Amended Tax Return for the current year and up to three prior years. Processing can take up to 16 weeks from the date the IRS receives the amended return. It will take approximately 3 weeks from the date mailed for the return to show in the "Where's My Amended Return?" system.

You will need to provide the following information:

  • Taxpayer Identification Number (for most taxpayers, that is their social security number)
  • Date of birth
  • ZIP code
