efile

I could not find my pin so I finally mailed in my tax form at the end of January. The wheres my refund page says not there. I found the letter from the IRS that gave me a pin. Can I efile now or will that delay everything. Thanks and God Bless

No, Do not E-file if you've already mailed a tax return.  

  • Mailing a return will take a longer time to process. 
  • Adding an e-filed return will cause a greater delay. 
  • It can cause problems with duplicate filing.

 Wait for the IRS to process the mailed return.
