We’ve been noticing the IRS has been showing greater than normal processing delays for amended returns – And the IRS status page indicates the same:

• Amended individual returns: Now processing from Jul 2024

• Amended corporate returns: Now processing from Sep 2024

• Individual general correspondence: Oct 2024

• Business general correspondence: Aug 2024

The undercurrent: If your return or situation doesn’t fit squarely into an existing hole, it’s taking a lot longer than usual. And the recent release of 6,000 IRS employees isn’t likely to help matters unfortunately. :/
