"Because the IRS continues to work through backlogs, the normal processing time of up to 16 weeks for F1040X submitted on paper also applies to the electronic Forms 1040-X."

From an IRS Alert this afternoon...   veddy, veddy interesting.  So it'll be the same hurry up & wait scenario.

    At no time ever did IRS tell anyone that this was being done for the convenience of taxpayers and practitioners.  It's done so that examiners can look at a computer screen, based on your data entry, rather than at a piece of paper.  Whatever made you think otherwise?

    It's like electronic filing -- pay a clerk $10 to work at a computer terminal so IRS saves $2.50.
