How Long Does It Take To Receive An Amended Tax Return?

One has to necessarily use a paper form to amend one's return, as it is not feasible to amend one's return by electronic means. The amended return can be filed at any time following the filing of the original return, but not after the expiry of the statute of limitations, which is dated generally four years from the due date of the initial return.
