No, I did not receive a notice. Yes I e-filed. Yes it was accepted. I got a reasonably normal status message when checking initially. Some weeks later the message with the 1581 reference number message came up with instructions to call the IRS Customer Service with the pertinent info. I’ve tried on and off at least a couple dozen times and ultimately get disconnected due to “high call volumes”.
So essentially, be patient. The IRS is overloaded like everything else in our Covid world and they should get to it eventually.
