I have a question I am seeking to get help with.
I am a non-resident filer (living in Australia) so I am filing a 1040NR manually each year (as you cannot efile these). These are refund returns.
Since COVID I have not been getting any reply from the IRS to any of the returns I have filed. It is now over 2 years since I submitted/filed my last return that they have not processed. Since then I have send more returns, duplicate copies (as I was worried it got lost in International mail) AND a letter I sent asking for information on what the status of my last few returns. Still no answer from the IRS.
I have tried calling the IRS but keep hitting a dead end of trying to find someone who can answer any questions.
I am very concerned as the returns I submitted in 2020 is now approaching the deadline for refunds and I have no idea what the status is or where to get help. At least in Australia I can speak to a human in the ATO but the IRS is a big black hole.
I do not know what I can do it find anything out. Looking for advice.
Thanks
