After you file

Thanks for your prompt and helpful replies!

 

@rjs : I filed by mail, and after checking the website, it seems delays in processing paper returns are expected for the time being. With that said, I don't have any payments due (just refund expected).

 

@SundayInSalem : Got it. I'll probably wait for now given that I don't owe any payments. I might also just try to visit my local IRS office and see if I can get a confirmation. This was my first time filing taxes independently, so if I end up having to pay a penalty, I'll try to get some relief as you mentioned. Yes, my mistake was certainly not intentional!

 

@Mike9241 : Sounds good!

 

thanks again for the help 🙂
