I think others may have this problem. Perhaps together we may devise a way to solve this.
In short, I mailed our federal tax forms, 1040 for 2020 on May 17, 2021. To date, the IRS site tells me they have not processed our forms. Then, the paragraph reads: "The due date has passed. If you've already filed, processing usually takes 21 days (electronic returns) or six weeks (paper returns).If you still need to file, submit your tax return along with any payment due as soon as possible to minimize potential penalties and interest. If you’ve been affected by a recent disaster, learn about the most recent tax relief provisions to know your options."
I have heard that they are way behind due to no one working in the offices.
I have no way of knowing if they've received the forms. I've seen that should not call, nor refile. Is there any way of checking to find out anything?
I will begin working toward that. I’ll try the Advocacy first, then go to Mike Roger’s office. Good advice.
If everybody filed a hand written return the IRS would shit in their pants.
I encourage it.
Go back in time. E-file your returns.
Sorry. Not much of a solution but that’s all I have.
And Biden intends to add 87,000 to their roles!
If you continue to fail to get them on the horn, next stop would be your US congresscritter.
If you're in Alabama, you're probably in luck, seeing as how there's only one Dem CONgriftweasel there.
Just wait ‘til they hire 45K more agents to “help” you.
I filed in May 2021. I am still waiting for my refund.
Shouldn’t have to, they need to do their job.
I am in Alabama, on the RIGHT SIDE of the state. My rep is Mike Rogers.
Do you see anything about your return on the IRS.gov site?
It sounds like we’re in the same boat.
Yes.
ALWAYS do tracking and a signature when dealing with the IRS and paperwork sent through the mail.
I haven’t checked IRS.gov site. I haven’t called them yet either.
I sent mine in on April 15th, I enclosed a check of $900 that has not been cashed.
Yes, they were behind for 2019 for paper forms, took about 9 months. Had the same message on the account site, but since a check was mailed with the forms and cashed shortly thereafter we knew they got them on time. Once they processed and mailed them they updated the account site with correct information. Not too worry they were over a million behind on processing paper submissions last year. There are articles published on the numbers behind if you do a search.
True dat.
True - but they don't care.
If and when you file by mail, always send it certified with a return receipt. That way you know they got it. Then it’s on them to explain. Not you.
Yes, you are right. I just did not want to stand in that unbelievably long line. Oh, my goodness. It may have been 50 yards long.
