has anyone ever filed an amendment to their taxes and received more money back?
I have to file an amendment to my add my newborn son, which entitles me to a higher refund than I already received. I have been told that I will get my amended refund in 8-12 weeks and also have been told it could be 4-6 weeks. I'm having my tax preparer fill out the necessary paper work and will be mailing out the amendment on saturday he says I have another 1300 dollars coming to me when the amendment is processed. I was wondering if anyone knew when I could expect my amended refund from experience or if someone knows because I don't want to get too excited if it's going to be a long wait.

How long ago did you file the original return?
If it hasn't been 3 weeks since you filed, let the first one finish before you try to update it.
And why in the world did you not just wait and file ONE tax return? I'm sure you thought it was not big deal to amend after you got the SSN for your son, but that attitude is flooding the IRS with amended returns and that in turn causes delays. Since your refund is so high, I'm guessing you are getting EIC--EIC claims on amended returns take the longest as they are automatically reviewed for possible fraud.

8 to 12 weeks from personal experience. During the tax season, figure closer to 12 weeks.
