IRS not processing prior year return

I’ve mailed my 2017 tax return to the IRS twice, 30 and 60 days ago respectively, and they still have no record of receiving it. I mailed the second return using FedEx and tracking shows that they received it, but it’s still not processed and I can’t get a loan until they do. What can I do to get my return processed?

There is not much you can do to induce the IRS to speed up the processing of your return.

 

You can, however, show the indicia of filing to your lender as well as any record of payment if you made a payment with your return.

Mailed in returns are taking 10 months on average to process ... could be longer for a return that old.

Since you filed your return, give the loan company a copy of Form 1040.

Usually 1040 Pg 1 and 2 are sufficient. (that was all needed for my loan.)

They will want you to sign it with today's date.

 

Why are they interested in a 2017 tax return ??
