After you file

Call the IRS on the number listed on your letter. If your letter does not have a number, call 1-800-829-1040. Be aware. The phone lines are backed up. The IRS opens at 7AM local time in every time zone. The earlier you call, the better your chance of speaking with someone.

 

The IRS should have a record of your filing. They may want you to send a copy of your return. It's possible, even though you have proof of delivery, that your return was misplaced or still hasn't been processed.

 

Received means the IRS received it. It doesn't mean they've looked at it. They are still going through 2020 returns.
