The IRS is no longer accepting e-filed original income tax returns. The 2021 e-file portal closed last October.
The only way to file a 2021 return is to print and mail it to the IRS. If you did not mail your return, print and mail it.
How do I print a copy of my return filed in the TurboTax CD/Download software?
If you mailed your return, check Where’s My Refund for confirmation that you’ve filed. IRS says to allow four weeks before checking Where’s My Refund because the service is still processing mail from months ago.
Filing the same tax return again typically won't speed up your refund and could even lead to delays.
However, you should resubmit your tax return, if all of these apply:
- You are due a refund,
- You filed on paper more than 6 months ago, and
- Where’s My Refund does not show that we received your return.
Resubmit your tax return only if all of the items above apply to you.
