After you file

Ok ... here is the scoop.  A data input operator opened the original return you send and  looked at the  signature section FIRST and since you did not sign it the return was sent back to you for a signature ... nothing was entered into the system at that time since an unsigned return is invalid.   

 

Once you mailed the return back  the envelope is opened again and the data input operator finally enters it into the system and the processing time of 6 months or longer starts at that point not the months earlier when you mailed it in the first time.  So april + 2 months = June + 6 months for processing =  Christmas at best ... don't expect anything sooner and be prepared to wait longer.
