Hi.  I didn't realize that there's a start date for when the IRS starts accepting returns.  I mailed my 2022 Form 709 (Gift Tax), which will get to the IRS before the 1/24/23 tax filing start date.

 

Will they reject this form back to me?

 

Thanks.

    A 709 is not even an income tax form.  You mail it separately from a Form 1040.   Mailed returns are not "accepted" or "rejected" the way e-files are.   You will just have to wait for a human to open your envelope and enter your gift form into the system.  Whenever you mail anything to the IRS, use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know that they received it.
