Sent in my 2019 and my 2018 returns thru Turbo Tax and had to send them via the mail! Not thru e-file, sent them in mid July 13-17th of 2021, do not seem to be able to get any feedback from IRS or Turbo Tax. Just trying to make sure they are being filed correctly and that I followed the instruction right.
If you did not use a tracking service from the US Post Office when the returns were mailed, then you will not know if the IRS ever received the tax return. If you put both tax returns in the same envelope then this will delay the processing of these returns. Each tax year should be mailed in a separate envelope.
With all this being said the only way for you to know if the IRS received these returns is to contact the IRS and speak with an agent. Call the IRS the first thing in the morning at 7am your time since an early call increases your chances to get to an actual agent.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
