I'm a Canadian who had a J1 Intern visa in the USA in 2019 . I mailed my 1040NR forms in mid-March (7 weeks ago) but the IRS Refund Tracker has no record of my filing and still returns the message, "We cannot provide any information about your refund". The help lines are all shut down due to coronavirus.
Is it risky to paper file a second return (this time with a tracked envelope) or is this a common experience for taxpayers right now? Any recommendations on what to do here?
