IRS says I did not file? How/Why

[Huskerfarias1]

I got my state refund. I payed my federal return. IRS still says i did not file 2018???

The iRS says you did not file?  Or that you did not pay your 2018 tax due?  Do you have bank/credit card records showing that you paid?  Did you get a letter from the IRS?  It seems pretty early to get a letter from the IRS about a 2018 return, unless you filed a return with tax due and did not pay.  What does the letter say?  Is there a letter number or CP number in the upper corner?

how and when did you file?.     e-filing closed 10/15/2019.  so if you filed after that you needed to mail your returns.  if you mailed your federal, did you use the same envelop or address as the state.  the state will toss the federal return.  the other possibility is the return got lost in the mail.    since you say you sent payment, you should check to see that it cleared.   are you sure it's the 2018 return?   

e-filing state is dependent on acceptance of e-filed federal. .  if you e-filed did you get acceptance notification for federal return.

I hate the thought of copying my 2018 business return (over 150 Pages) and having to send it certified probably costing more than $10. let alone buying several print cartridges to print it.  Can't you folks efile the tax return?.

Thanks,

No.  2018 Tax Returns can no longer be e-filed.

You may not have to copy and mail all pages of your business tax return.  Print the actual tax Forms, and anything that is a Schedule.  You do not need to send the Worksheets (usually the pages at the end of the return)
