Hello,
In May 2021, I had e-filed my 2020 Federal & CA State returns. Both got processed and refund received in 3-4 weeks. Issue is with my 2018 & 2019 returns.
I have filed 2018 & 2019 tax returning by mailing the physical forms to IRS & CA state in May/June 2021. State returns got processed and refunds were e-deposited already. However, IRS site still shows that they don't see my federal returns returns yet. It is been already 3 months since I had mailed the forms and documents were delivered as per the USPS tracking. Not sure why are they not reflecting that status, say, returns received and yet to be processed.
Can you please let me know how long does it take to process the prior year returns? Somewhere I read that it can take 16 weeks. Not sure on that. Please let me know.
