Hello,
Thanks for the information. I am one of those people who had to file paper return because of first year-residency election. I have been waiting for more than 6 weeks now without any update on the progress. It is not fair for IRS not processing any of those returns as people like me were relying on that money, what is more, we were not able to get my stimulus check because IRS does not process my 2019 tax return yet so they do not have my bank account details to send my government issued check. They even started to discuss sending 2nd stimulus checks, yet we have not received anything.
I understand they released this news on 19th May saying that they limited the operations for paper returns however at the same time they should have provided some solution for those people (10% according to the IRS website) who has to and/or willing to file paper return as their own choice. It does not make sense at all.
They say do not call us, do not write us to check the status and then what, we will have to wait forever for them to process our refunds and send out those checks? There must be something that we could do.
Any ideas please?
