Should I Amend or not?

[Anonymes]

Hello! Happy new year to you all!

I really need help because I am in a very desperate situation! I filed my 2019 taxes since April 15th, 2020 and until today January 9th, 2021 my taxes have not been processed at all!

I received a letter from the IRS on July 27th, 2020 asking me to submit form 8926 and form 1095-A forms and I submitted them that same day by mail. I still have a copy of them with me.

I called the IRS why it’s still taking forever and they said it’s because they don’t have anybody in the mail department to open and read letters to update things! If the tax preparer had included those at the time of filing my taxes, none this would have happened! I didn’t have to wait for a F...g 9 months!

please guys let me know if I should go to another tax prepared with a copy of these to amend my taxes since the irs didn’t processed anything at all! I even requested a transcript of my taxes and it keep empty saying that there is no 2019 taxes on file! Please help me with accurate answers. Thanks

the problem is the IRS is behind in processing mailed-in returns and forms.  sending another copy of your return would likely further delay your refund.

It shouldn’t be delayed if I file online by adding the forms! Right now it’s just sitting in a pile of mail where they are no people tending it. I believe it is best to just refile and add whatever items where missing. This way it will be processed online without asking for additional information

No!  You cant efile 2019 anymore.  Efiling is closed for 2019 and prior.   And don't mail another copy.  The IRS says NOT to mail again.  You just have to wait.  If there are 2 or more returns in the system it will delay it even more.
