Taxpayers who file a return that has been deemed incomplete or must be amended can expect to receive their refund within 8-12 weeks after the confirmation of filing is provided. If you file a Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation), expect your refund to take even longer depending on the situation.
How long does IRS have to pay a refund on an amended return? I have contacted the National Tax Payers Advocate and received different answers. The problem is that it has been five months now since I filed an amended return for a refund and we have had no communication from the IRS. It just sits in examination for review since April, 22, 2008 with no activity or release for payment.
