I made a mistake in my return (overpaid) and immediately filed an amendment when I realized in the same day. Amendments can take up to 16 weeks to review. Glad mine was done within 4, and I got my money back before the IRS gets totally broken.
My parents have to file on paper every year because the IRS keeps claiming that their prior year AGI is wrong every single year despite using the exact values from their prior year returns downloaded directly from the IRS website and they typically don’t get their refund until October.
The tax software had a broken required form for an obscure tax credit we were getting. The tax software company said it would take a few weeks to fix the form. We simply skipped the credit entirely, and filed as soon as we could knowing trump was tearing down the IRS. As soon as we got our refund, we filed the amended return using the paper form for the obscure tax credit. I think its entirely possible we never see that one get processed nor that money returned.
