You can check the status of your amended tax return using the IRS "Where's My Amended Return?" online tool. This tool allows you to track your Form 1040-X after about three weeks from the date you submitted it. You will need your Social Security Number, date of birth, and ZIP code to access the status. The tool will show statuses such as:

• Received: The IRS has your amended return but hasn't finished reviewing it.
• Adjusted: The IRS has reviewed and made changes to your account.
• Completed: The IRS has finished processing your amended return, and you will receive information by mail

If you filed an amended return for tax years 2021 and later, you can request your refund by direct deposit if you filed electronically; otherwise, you will receive a paper check

. For state amended returns, such as in New York, you can file electronically or by mail, submitting all relevant forms and documents again. The state tax department also provides instructions on filing and checking amended returns

. In summary, the primary place to check the status of an amended federal tax return is the IRS "Where's My Amended Return?" tool on the IRS website.
