Hi, xmasbaby0,
I printed and mailed my 2018 tax forms in March of 2019 (yes late, but that's not the problem). I can only assume that my paper return is in the paper backlog. I have checked IRS.gov, and 2018 has yet to be processed.
Now, my 2019 e-filed forms (using downloaded desktop TuboTax) are being rejected because my 2018 AGI "doesn't match" the IRS database. (Because 2018 hasn't been processed.) I realize I have the option of printing and mailing 2019, but I don't really want to do that because of how long 2018 is taking to process.
Is there another option? Can I enter "0" for example, or will that turn me into a non-filer for 2018? Is there a way to attach an explanation to an e-file? Will anyone read it?
Thanks for any insights you may have.
