I called the IRS over lunch to ask them where the hell my $11K is. While I was on hold for ten or fifteen minutes – not bad, considering – one of the automated messages told me that there's a site for checking the status of amended returns, i.e. the 1040X that I filed back in March.
Cell phone in one hand an typing Dvorak with the other, I logged in. Sure enough, they got my 1040X on March 2. Processing time: sixteen (16) weeks.
And then a human came on and told me pretty much the exact same thing. Le sigh. So, I probably will get my dough, but not until the end of next month. That's too late for the transaction, if the courts allow it, for Mom's house, but luckily Good Sister says we don't need it. I guess I can save it for a (real) vacation later this year and the (re-)start of a down payment fund.
