I filed an amended tax return for 2023 and checked the IRS website today. It shows the status as “Adjusted.” I’m wondering—how long does it usually take for my refund to be direct deposited after the status changes to adjusted?

To get accurate information on your refund status, you’ll need to contact the IRS directly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to reach a live agent:
Call the IRS: Dial 1-800-829-1040 between 7 AM – 7 PM local time, Monday to Friday.
Avoid Automated Responses: When calling, do not choose the option for \”Refund\” as it will route you to an automated line.
Step-by-Step Navigation:
Select your language preference after the initial prompt.
Do not choose Option 1 for refund info. Instead, choose Option 2 for \”personal income tax.\”
Press 1 for \”form, tax history, or payment.\”
Press 3 for \”all other questions.\”
Press 2 for \”all other questions.\”
Skip SSN/EIN Input: When prompted, do not enter your SSN or EIN. Wait until it asks twice, and you’ll be directed to another menu.
Final Menu Navigation:
Press 2 for \”personal or individual tax questions.\”
Press 3 for \”all other inquiries.\”
You should then be transferred to an IRS agent who can assist with your amended return and refund status.
Note: Wait times may vary depending on call volume, so calling earlier in the day is often recommended.
