I sent my amended return certified mail to the IRS in Austin, TX on April 2nd. I mailed it from the Dallas area which is a 3 hour drive from Austin. On April 3rd tracking showed it was picked up in Dallas. April 5th tracking showed it arrived at a Austin postal facility. April 9th tracking showed it was in route to final destination. Today is May 13th and the postal service tracking has had no updates since April 9th.
I decided to try sending it again on May 6th. Tracking shows it was picked up on May 7th in Dallas area and is currently “in route”. Again today is May 13th and there have been no tracking updates since May 7th.
This is all very odd since it’s not like my letter is traveling across the country. I understand it taking 12 weeks or whatever to process once they receive it but the postal service should be able to take a letter to a location that is a three hour drive in less then a freaking month.
im planning to contact the post master for the dallas area and the Austin area. I’m concerned that since these letters were addressed to the IRS that postal workers k ow they likely contain personal info (social security, name/addy etc) and are stealing the info this the letters never arrive.
