Taxes

So, I did a paper return for my 2020 taxes, but I realized I never sent them to the IRS. By this time, I also had noticed a mistake on my return so I amended it, and then sent in the amended return. However, I never sent the original return in with my signature. It’s been 2 months since I sent my amended return and it won’t show up on my “Where’s My Amended Return?”. I have tried to contact the IRS but I always get transferred to a line that is always busy. What should I do?

We have to know what you mean by sending in an amended return. Did you merely correct an original return and mail that corrected return (Form 1040)?  That would be an original return. Or did you send  a 1040-X which is an amended return without first filing an original return? (and which you should not have done). 

 

In any event mailed returns are taking 6 months or more to process.
