I filed a paper amended return (for 2018) back in May of 2020. Whenever I try to check the status online, it still shows no information: they have not even entered the return into their system yet, much less actually processed my refund. It has been 8 months! I can't even confirm that they ever received the return (although the post office confirms that it was successfully delivered.) I understand that processing times are a little slower due to Covid, but if the usual is 3 weeks, how can it not be entered in 8 months! Of course, I can't get a live person on the phone, there is no e-mail address to which I can direct an inquiry. What do I do? How can I confirm that at least they have it and will be processing it?
The above post was from someone who sent his return in June of 2020, and by Oct. he got a response. So how have I not gotten any kind of response when I filed earlier and it's now Jan. of 2021? That makes me even more concerned that they might have lost or messed up my return. Any suggestions on how can I check on the status? They say not to simply re-file, so how long is reasonable to wait? Whom can I contact?
