@fanfare - my experience as well...got the message that it was received and not processed.....took fairly close to 52 weeks until it actually was resolved... At least the "received and not processed" message was comfort that the IRS actually had it....the scary part is they claim they will get back to normal processing turn times by the end of the year....yet, as an example, the number of paper filed returns which has hovered at 8.2mm backlogged for the past few weeks, reposted yesterday at 8.5mm backlogged.... could there be that many people overseas filing via paper for the June 15th deadline?????
