Track your amended return.
Amended returns take longer than original returns. The IRS has its own amended return tracker; New York checks amended returns by phone.
Checking a NY amended return
New York’s online refund tool does not show amended returns or payments. To check a New York amended return, call the NY Tax Department at 518-457-5149.
If your amendment changes your federal return, it usually changes your New York return too. Filing both together keeps them consistent.
While you wait, let a CPA look at your return.
Thousands of New Yorkers search for their refund every week. Many are owed more than they claimed. A licensed CPA reviews your return, your business structure and your 2026 and 2027 plan in a free consultation.
Frequently asked
Can I track a New York amended return online?
No. New York’s refund status tool does not cover amended returns. Call 518-457-5149.
Should I amend my return?
If you missed income or a deduction, or got a corrected 1099 or W-2, an amendment may be needed. Bring both versions to your free consultation and our CPA will tell you.
