Hello VolvoGirl, Yes I did and finished my tax.
but the problem still exist with the 2021 Tax. I went back several years and found the in 2019 and in 2020 I made partial estimated tax payments. In the 2019 return I had the estimated payments included in the tax and it was ok. In 2020 I had it not included. Don't ask me for a reason, I can't tell you. On Jan 24, 2022 I received a letter from the IRS stating I had 5043$ credit in my account, but they had no tax return. Doesn't make sense to me, but it was Covid time. The IRS requested that I send them my 2020 return with all attachments again, what I did, but I never heard back from them. In the 2021 return I had the estimated tax which I paid on April 15, 2021 not included, maybe I forgot or I was under the assumption the Government will take care of it, because of the Jan 24, 2022 letter. As I see it now the two estimated tax payments I made on April 15, 2021 are still in limbo or are taken by the Government with no return in sight.
The Jan 24 letter was a AP80 notice. It stated also that the IRS sets strict limits for refunding or transferring credits. I tried to find out what the time limits are. In the IRS publication "Understanding your CP080 notice" it states:
Do to processing delays for 2019 and 2020 tax returns, the issuance of CP80 and CP080 (Unfiled Tax Return - Credit on Account) notices has been suspended. If you received a notice for your 2019 return and you filed timely, please refile the return. If you received a notice for your 2020 return DO NOT refile.
With this last sentence I do not know what to do. What is the time limit for a credit transfer?
Any Advice and Help is appreciated.
Thanks
