Question

Why is the IRS not showing 2019 returned filed on my IRS account?

Forum|Forum|6 years ago

My 2019 tax return is not showing up on my IRS account. We got the ‘IRS accepted your return’ email from turbo tax on 3/19/20. The IRS site only shows 2018 and older. This year is the first year we owe taxes(we were contractors for a portion of it), not sure if that has anything to do with them not seeing my most recent return.
Does the IRS have our return?
Should we just keep track of the balance owed on our end and continue making payments via the IRS Direct pay and hope their system eventually catches up?

Have you paid an have they taken the payments? They might wait until the July 15 due date to take the payments. The IRS is VERY slow this this year to process tax returns - see below.

**********************************************************************************************
**NOTE*** Due to the Corona virus 10 week shutdown the IRS is operations are still very limited. Any tax return that requires hand processing will probably have long delays. Mailed returns were not being processed and there is a huge backlog. Most phone service remains limited.

@macuser_22 It’s our first time having to pay taxes so before making the big payment of the balance showed in Turbo Tax that we owe, we wanted to test out the direct pay system with a smaller amount. We scheduled the first payment out of our saving for 7/3/2020, I got the payment confirmation page on the IRS website but I’m still waiting for the money to be withdrawn from our account. It did say it would take a couple of business days so I’m giving it til mid week to see if it’s withdrawn.

The holiday weekend got in the way ... watch for the payment to come out of the bank next week.

I submitted my 2018 return using the "free" tax software. IRS sent me a form 15103 Delinquent Return" notice this year in Jan or Feb 2020. I remember getting a text saying the IRS has accepted my return. Unfortunately, I was not able to download the return from TURBO TAX using what it saved said "download file not in correct format". I can not reach anyone at Turbo Tax and now IRS line is always busy. I will be returning the form with copy of my tax return again---after getting another NOTICE OF DELIQUENT RETURN" and mailing them copies of the 2018 returns in April 2020. Thanks to Turbo Tax FREE EDITION my stuff is lost!

I sent a paper 2019 tax return on 7/7/2020, with a check. They cashed the check and applied to a previous year's balance. Which is fine. However, today, 2/1/2021 I checked to see if my paper return has been filed and to see what I owe. My account shows that a 2019 return has never been filed. I called and the rep told me they have no record of recieving my tax return. I asked her how they were able to recieve my check. What did the do with the return that I sent in the same envelope? The IRS rep told me she cannot help me and hung up on me.

So what do I do now?

Just wanted to let folks know that after many months of frustration and nonresponse from the main IRS, I called my state IRS Tax Advocate. I got a callback one business day later. The Advocate confirmed that my tax was processed (even though my online records said that it was not) and my tax refund was credited. I am very thankful for the service.

If you want to try to contact your state IRS tax advocate, look up their phone number and address on Local Taxpayer Advocate | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov).

I open an I.R.S Account recently, and what i noticed is that my 2019 federal and state tax returns not showing on my Portal I.R.S. Account, So i call TurboTax where i filed online says they in fact sent my returns electronically, So So I Called the I.R.S. and they told me they are behind on updating information sent to them. My taxes we're sent eight months ago, So I haven"t received my second stimulus money, and i'm wondering if it because my 2019 taxes are not showing with the I.R.S, and what about the third and fourth stimulus will i receive future stimulus money when past and signed by President Biden,or will this issue prevent it

The IRS is no longer mailing stimulus checks. Any missed payment will be reconciled on your 2020 tax 1040 form line 30 and will add to your 2020 refund. TurboTax will ask if you received all the stimulus.

As far and any new laws not yet passed, you will just have to wait and see- might never happen.

I requested a copy of my Tax Transcript and showed "no record of return filed", but my requested copy

of my Account Transcript showed " under Code 610 "payment with return". What exactly is the status of

my return? What do I have to do to prove to the lending Institution that I have filed my return?

They are way behind. If you filed a paper return it probably has not been entered yet (they process the cash fast but not the return). If you put in the correct AGI it will not work until your return is processed. Put in zero ($0) is supposed to make it work in this case according to the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue

Under Individual 2019 tax returns (hit the plus and scroll down to the bottom of that section and you will see 2020 filing info).

The poster was asking about a *2019* tax return filed a year ago - the IRS is not that far behind.

I am running into the same problem. I went to go e-file my 2020 taxes today and it keeps getting rejected because it's saying my AGI isn't correct. I went to get a transcript and nothing is there at all for 2019. We paid in last year and I have record of the IRS taking my withdraw from my bank account. Any suggestions? Should I just send it in via mail?

Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have read that they are backlogged and to e-file however I keep getting rejected due to the AGI not being recognized. I really do not want to do this by paper again this year.

See this TurboTax FAQ on how to find your AGI

https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301618

You can get free 2019 tax transcript from the IRS

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

If you filed late last year there is a good chance that the 2019 AGI never was entered into the e-file database. Try using 0 (zero) for the AGI.

If you filed an amended return use the AGI on the first filed tax return.

If it continues to reject then the AGI in the IRS database might be in error. Mail filing is the only option.

We are having the same issue. We cannot reach the IRS due to call volume. We tried the agi on the one they accepted. We tried 0 as advised. Did anyone figure this out?
