Mailing tax return to the IRS Austin,TX address from abroad. Has anyone else experienced this?

[CatinaT1]

The IRS just began processing mail again.  They are processing it in the order it was received.  They have a substantial back log.  

Sounds like it was received, it probably just has not been opened yet.

Hi,

Have you got the  reply from irs ? I am also facing the same problem since March 

[sayeed006]

No, I haven't got any reply from IRS.

Have you got any update?

[Pridu11]

Hi,

Yes I have got the documents back from IRS

[jane-11]

Great! I have the same problem as you mentioned. Did you call them or just wait for them to process? Thanks~

[Pridu11]

Calling them didn't help me much. I have waited for the document and finally received it on july.

[jane-11]

I haven't received mine, maybe I should wait then. Thanks very much for your answer!!!

Is this delay applicable for W7 - ITIN processing also?  IRS asked for original passport to process W7 and I had sent my passport. As per USPS tracking, it has been delivered on 3rd Aug to an Individual at AUSTIN, TX 78710. But I received a rejection on 24th Aug and did not get my passport back yet. Its been 56 days now . I am worried as the Zip code on tracking status is different from the address that I had sent .

The zip code that I sent is 78714 with a PO number 9342

Due to the covid shutdown mail that has tracking on it was being accepted by other IRS owned zip codes and that is noting to worry about.  Even if you mail it to the wrong place the IRS will reroute the envelope using internal mail delivery methods it will just take a bit longer. 

Right now the IRS is playing catch up with the 11 million + envelopes that piled up while they were closed plus the millions of mail that just keeps coming.  They are trying to open the mail in the order it was received so it may take a while for your envelope to  come to the top of the pile ... patience will be needed by all this year.
