After you file

Im referring to the penalty, which I did pay. It was 53 bucks which I payed about 4 weeks ago. I want to know an estimate of how long it will take to see this refund that I am due? I filed my taxes at the beginning of Oct. I did apply for an ext in April. Will this take longer since this is not the filing season? Sorry that I sound like a novice but this is my first time filing late.


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.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.
