We are applying for a mortgage, and as part of an assistance program, they want to see proof that we have filed our 2018 taxes. They were mailed by the April 15th deadline with a balance due, that we did not pay yet. The IRS website shows that no return has been processed yet, even though I have certified USPS mail confirmation that it was delivered on April 19th. I need some kind of "proof" that our return was sent to the IRS, other than the USPS tracking number. What can I do in this scenario?
(Note: we could not e-file because it keeps getting rejected, saying there is an incorrect birth date, likely because the SSA has the wrong birth date on file).
Also, if we got the birth date fixed at the SSA, what would happen if we e-filed before the paper return was processed? We owe tax instead of getting a re-fund, so I'm not concerned about delaying that portion.

The IRS site only shows the status of returns that are getting a refund -- on the "Where's My Refund" site. It does not display returns that you mailed in for which you owe tax due. So, you have proof that you mailed the return since you have a receipt from the post office, but sadly, you are late in paying your tax due, and will be subject to late penalties/interest for paying after the filing deadline. This may not play well with your lender, but it is what it is.
get the birth date fixed with the SSA so you can efile next year. getting it fixed might take a while because it is unusual for them to have wrong date. they get the date from records submitted to them. so if the wrong date is in what was submitted, you can expect a time consuming process to rectify it.
