Here it is, May 2022. Filed my 2019 1040 return on time, using TurboTax. TurboTax confirms filing and acceptance by IRS. State tax return filed at same time and e-filed by TurboTax, has been accepted and processed by the state, shortly after it was filed.
But IRS transcript ever since says no 2019 1040 filed. Have spoken repeatedly with IRS personnel including Tax Advocate. Latest call was in January, 2022 with IRS rep who answered the 800 phone. Explained situation. She says she can see tax return was filed and received because it has an IRS document number which she can see. She said she could also see it had not been processed. See said she would send inter-agency message to that department notifying them of the problem, and that I would see the return processed in 6-8 weeks. Needless to say, I've received no subsequent information from IRS that my 2019 tax return has been processed and, once again, my IRS transcript today says no 2019 tax return has been filed. It's been 16 weeks since the IRS rep told me it would be processed in 6-8 weeks.
Adding insult in injury, about a year ago I succeeded in having an IRS Tax Advocate call me about the situation. But instead of speaking to me, he left a voicemail message with no return contact information (and the phone number of the call was simply right back to the general IRS phone number). The Tax Advocate told me that it was impossible for him to help me "because you never filed a 2019 tax return." Can you believe it?
