Solved

I got a letter from IRS to mail/fax a 1095a and a 8962 form. How will I know they have received it? How long does it generally take to get confirmation?

I filed on 2/2 . I got the letter from IRS  (dated) 2/22. I faxed my forms on 2/26 (5days ago) . When and how do I know if they have received my fax? I sent fax myself at my friend's office and anxious to know if it has made it to IRS. If the premium tax credit increased/decreased the amount of my refund , how will I know the new amount? I would like to know if anyone else in 2017 has had any confirmation about their faxed forms.  It has been very stressful thinking I was going to have the refund a week ago, now it could be months !

    So finally now..
    Filed 2/2
    Received letter 2/25
    Faxed forms 2/26
    03/09 IRS received my fax
    Tax topic was back 03/10
    Ordered transcript 3/11
    At 1145 pm bars came back and got DDD of 03/16 . So 14 days after faxing I got approved. But I believe mine went a bit faster because my amount did not change, if they are adjusting amount I believe it takes a little longer .  

    I really really hope everyone gets in the same boat soon.. it was the most frustrating thing I've dealt with in a while!

    Yes@ Desiree mine said the same thing before approval. There is a group on FB called "1095A and 8962 filers 2018" there are a lot of people there with a lot of info.

    I called irs on 2/21 to check on refund. I was told a letter was mailed.... To my OLD address! IRS needed a 1095A I couldn't provide anything but a 1095B so I faxed it in the same day, every time I call the irs they just tell me something else, 4wks now 6 to 8 wks!! They suck

    3/3: Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by March 7, 2018.  If your refund is not credited to your account by  March 12, 2018 , check with your bank to see if it has been received.

    Transcripts available 3/2 with “refund issued” date of 3/7. The refund amount is unchanged, not reflecting adjustment from Form 8962. No bars yet on WMR.

    Tax topic 152 was back 3/1. Refund amount disappeared (my 8962 increased amount due to me).

    Faxed in 1095A/8962 forms  2/26.
