I sent my K1 (2018 amended tax return) to the IRS, and can see that the IRS acknowledges receiving it on 04.12.19 (that sounds about right, as I mailed it on 04.08.19).
Everywhere I look, it says to PLEASE WAIT UP TO 16-WEEKS FOR THE IRS TO PROCESS YOUR K1 AMENDED TAX RETURN.
That's great, but we're just about at the 16-week point (about a week shy), and I haven't heard a peep out of the IRS, and the tracking website (https://sa.www4.irs.gov/wmar/login) says the same thing it's been saying since the IRS received the K1 back on 04.12.19.
What do i do if they fail to update the status of my return on their tracking website, and I don't hear anything from them, well beyond their 16-week processing window?
I seriously doubt there's a person i can call or an email address that'll go to a real live person, as the IRS isn't exactly known for their customer service (unless you owe THEM money, in which case they are extremely polite!).
In this instance, the IRS/gov't owes me about $7k ($6,907 to be more precise), so i'm curious if it's taking this long because they owe me money, or if it really DOES take this long to process a K1.
Anyone?
