Client waiting for refund from 1040X e-filed 9-22-20. Is anyone else having to wait this long?

The IRS is running just a wee bit behind this year so the fact that your client hasn't received a refund yet on an amended return isn't surprising.

Not surprising. I had a client wait almost 6 mos.

I Efiled 3 different 1040X returns, the 2 with refunds got the refund check within 4 weeks.

What were the amounts and/or issues on the two that received quick refunds? My experience with paper-filed amended returns has been that they are either paid very quickly, like within four weeks, or very slowly, like 14 to 26 weeks. They won't tell us the criteria for a second look, but it probably involves amounts below a certain figure, and simple issues like an additional W-2 or mortgage interest deduction.

Faster refunds on e-filed original returns ≠ fast refunds on e-filed amended returns

I think a lot of people confuse electronic filing with actual processing of returns. A return having been e-filed doesn't necessarily equate to the IRS processing the return; it just means that data has been entered into the IRS' system but the processing itself may take some time depending, in part, on whether the IRS will review the return in more details.
