We have definitely seen it which is why we are able to say that it has not been accepted or rejected, just received. I filed my taxes in early February, more than 2 months before the April 18th cut off date and just barely over a month from when we are allowed and able to start filing. It doesn’t seem feasible to file taxes through another system if the IRS states they’ve received our records already. Then they’d have duplicate records and it seems like that would further delay the process - perhaps I am wrong about this but it just seems like things would get messy rather quickly. Overall, I have never had issues like this. The delays are baffling. The lack of communication from the IRS is frustrating. The inability to speak to a human through their phone service is infuriating. It seems hopeless to troubleshoot because there are no answers provided and only AI can hear our questions.
