The IRS has this handy tool to ensure your amended tax return was filed properly and the approximate date of refund deposit. Here’s some information to help manage your expectations- most amended tax returns take 10-12 weeks to process.

ExPat or ex-patriate amended tax returns can easily be 6-8 months. Yikes.
