How long will it take me to receive an IRS refund after filing an amended return – form 1040X?
I have three years worth of amended returns to file with sizable added refunds due for the past three years. I am mailing them on Monday – how long before I should receive my check from the IRS?
The years I am filing are 2004, 2005, and 2006. I filed Single with a Dependent instead of Head of Household.

Now you will not get refund for your 2003 tax return. For 2004 tax return, make sure to file before April 15, 2008. Refund check will take 6 to 8 weeks.

Once IRS receives your 1040X it will take 6-12 weeks to process your forms.
Be patient IRS will no have to re-input your tax return, make adjustments etc.
It will probably take at least two or maybe three months.
I filed an amended return last year and they said it would take 8-12 weeks and it took every bit of the 12 weeks to get the refund. They were not doing anything or letting that refund go before that 12 weeks was up. I know that’s not good news but just sit back and wait. It’ll be nice when it does come!
