Level 4

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!

Once faxed to them the process will take 6 - 10 weeks based on the estimate given by the IRS. You can always contact IRS customer service line at 1 800 829 1040, for further assistance and also to verify if it was received.

Would love to know if you found out any information - im in the same boat but just received my letter on the 4th and was able to fax my documents to the IRS the same day...everything I can find on the subject is old and I think its too soon for me to call the IRS

I faxed it to the number on the form from the IRS. I'll give it 10 days. We can also call for a tax advocate & claim hardship since we've already waited. Not sure how accurate this is. Thanks guys!

You do NOT need to amend your Tax Return!!!

All you need to do is log into Turbo Tax and do the following:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Add State.

On the left side of the screen it will bring up a list of options, click on Federal, then click on add a form.

Up at the top you'll see credits and deductions, click on that.

Scroll down and look for the 1095 A Healthcare tab, click on the start button to the right.

Once it opens you can enter the information from the 1095 A form you received in the mail or printed off.

Once you've entered your information it will take you back through several more questions and do the review of your tax return. Once that's completed you can either print or save your tax return and form 8962 will now be in there.

If you've already electronically filed your return, all you have to do is print off a copy of form 8962, make a copy of form 1095 A and either fax or mail it to the fax number/ mailing address printed at the top of the letter you received from the IRS. Unless they specifically request a copy of your entire tax return, you do not need to send it. They will recalculate your refund and send you a notice of any changes.
