Madame JulieS:
Thanks for responding.
In today's computerized tax world, I can understand why written communications would not be appreciated accompaniments to an e-filing. Our specific situation results from having enormous medical bills for 2022, because of my surgeries, plus taking medical expenses for a grandchild with unusual medical expenses. I can see the IRS balking, because of the combined amount, which it would not realize is a combined amount unless I described the situation.
The 1040 will exceed 100 pages, so I have little incentive to mail same. But, if I mail in a separate statement to explain the expenses, will it be entered into my IRS account, or get lost in the handling? I have a feeling that the IRS does a computerized review of my e-file, which will pass or fail, totally ignoring, if found, my mail-in explanation. If there is a "failure" in my return, does the IRS go back to my file, or simply send out a computerized notification? In which case, a mail-in explanation would be a waste of time.
Thanks for your time expended!
