No, you don't have to attach your 1099-NEC form that doesn't have any income tax withheld, even if it's handwritten.
Your mailed in tax return will automatically be delayed because the IRS has to manually type it in. Also, per IRS, they have around 12 million tax returns that have been caught in a processing backlog created by the pandemic, which shut down the IRS for a time. Americans should see their refunds in the coming months. "We would hope to be through this backlog by the summer," said IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.
- The IRS also has millions of returns that have to be manually verified which is also causing a delay.
- Keep checking the IRS Where's My Refund page to see if your refund status has been updated.
