amended return not on transcript

[schirallicpa]

My client received letter 4364C in Feb that the IRS had received their amended return for 2019. When I run transcripts I don't see that an amended return was filed. Shouldn't I? The client says she does not remember filing an amended return. I haven't figured out if I should ignore this or try to pursue it further. Any thoughts?

Do they want money? Or you don't know yet, because while they received perhaps they have not processed? 

I think I'd try to pursue this as I've generally found that anything let slide ends up trying to bite me in the tail later.

According to TIGTA, the IRS has over 2 Million unprocessed Amended Tax Returns

Those must be the ones that have refunds.

Hi Max, is your client filed 1040NR by paper?  I have one like that, prior a letter said X form was processed, they sent multiple said 2019 was not filed, or 2019 needs more time to be processed.  I did mail them duplicated copies because they threaten to collection.  I think they got confused about the duplicates I mailed as amended returns.  If you pull transcript, you may see the refund date is assigned, the refund amount on transcript matches with the original filed paper return.   What I think is as long as the refund and all information on transcript are correct, we don't do anything.  I told client to expect a refund check.

I'd ignore that letter. Most likely a glitch.
