Just to clarify, you received a filing date from the IRS before you actually filed your return?

Please contact this IRS regarding these dates.

You may contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 please see this website article from the IRS on contact hours and information you will need to have ready when calling them: https://www.irs.gov/help/telephone-assistance.

Here are some tips when contacting the IRS:

First choose your language.
Then do not choose the first choice regarding REFUND, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
Instead, press 2 for personal income tax questions.
Then press 1 for form, tax history, or payment.
Then press 3 for all other questions.
Then press 2 for all other questions to be transferred to an agent
