If my returns were rejected without an IP PIN and I tried getting a IRS code to fix it but my phone didn’t accept it, will I be penalized for being late with my return?

I already tried to set up an IRS account and a text message with a code from the IRS was attempted to be sent, but my non-smart phone (with texting abilities) couldn't receive the text. So now I've been told via messages that I must now wait for the code in the usps mail. I will be late filing now and don't know what else to do

I would file an extension if you owe money, the late fees...

I would file an extension if you owe money, the late fees for paying late are much lower (.5%) than the late filing penalty (5%). If you are getting a refund you do not need to worry, as returns can be filed any time in the next 3 years.

The IRS will calculate any penalty and send you a letter if you do owe.
