"TODAY.... and as of last week... more than TWO WEEKS AFTER, the roll out of this feature on the IRS web site, the IRS added a yellow warning box which FINALLY clarified that this tool should not be used unless you intend to not file a 2019 EVER. (A permanent “non-filer”... and not just a “not filed YET non-filer”.)
It took TWO WEEKS for this warning box and desperately needed clarification to show up on the IRS site.
Thousands of people... maybe tens of thousands .. maybe millions of people incorrectly used this IRS tool at no fault of their own."
Glennboulder for president!!!
This is exactly why I'm waiting to make any sort of move. I know the very second I drop a paper return in the mail, the gov will announce a perfectly simple workaround for this problem and the floodgates of efile-ville will swing open for us "non filer mistake makers" once again. But if I mail a return after they address this and give us a solution so we can efile, I will have once again zigged when I should have zagged.
An old old man once gave me the advice of a lifetime, which I refer to in such situations(I should have referred to it before i filled out the dubious non filer):
"If you dont know what you're doing ....STOP. Stop until you do know what youre doing."
.... it works. So I'm sitting here stopped, waiting for news and I advise others in the same boat to do the same. The moment you drop a paper return into the mailbox, you're doomed to wait probably until the end of the year before you see your refund.
Just my 2 cents .... but then again my "cents" is what got me here lol
