Signs the IRS Logjam Is Breaking Up for 2020 Amended Returns

-- One friend e-filed her amended 2020 return in mid-April, 2021. Almost exactly a year later, in mid-April 2021, she received the refund she was due. Strangely, one week later she received a snail mail saying she would receive the refund in two to three weeks.


-- Another friend e-filed her amended 2020 return in late May, 2021. This past week she received a snail mail from the IRS saying she would receive payment in four to six weeks.


Post-o. That should be:

"Almost exactly a year later, in mid-April 2022,"

I recently got a letter dated May 6 saying they'd processed an amended 2020 return we filed in May 2021.

According to snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com:

John, thank you for sharing your own experience.

Yesterday the second friend (who amended her 2020 return in late May, 2021) received a mailed check for the amount the IRS/Treasury owed her plus, I believe, interest.
