TAX RETURN

I attempted to file my 2019 taxes on TurboTax e-file but it wouldn't let me enter my AGI as it read on the previous years tax returns. Therefore, I mailed them in via mail. It has been longer than six weeks and I cannot get an update at all on the irs website. It tells me there is no information found, and I cannot get into contact with anyone from the IRS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
    In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.
    Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.
    The IRS is currently not processing any mailed returns and is not taking any phone calls.

    If you efiled your return, have you confirmed that the return was submitted by TurboTax and accepted by the IRS?

    If accepted, what does the IRS tracking web site say about the status of your refund?

    Okay @Texas Roger . I am trying to re file electronically. It says my AGI is wrong? It’s coming off the actual return from 2018.

    When did you file 2018? If it was late in the year try putting in zero for the AGI. And see, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031

    Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
