Will the need to snail mail the 1098-c for a car donation delay the refund being sent on an otherwise e-Filed return? I have already e-filed and it was accepted.

The efile was accepted already.  I am going to be out of town for a few weeks and forgot to stick the form in the mail.  Will there be a delay in the processing of my refund?

No, the IRS will not delay your refund due to not having received your mailed document yet.  

However, you should send it as soon as possible.  When the IRS starts matching returns, if your document is not on file the IRS will write you a letter, possibly disallowing your car donation.

Thank you!
