IRS Verification of Non-filing Letter When I DID File! What's Going On?

Just got a verification of non-filing letter from the IRS saying I didn't submit my taxes. But I absolutely DID file! Been doing my taxes the same way for years, nothing different this time. Never had this issue before. Anyone else dealing with this or know what's happening?

This actually happens more often than you'd think. The IRS system sometimes doesn't immediately recognize filed returns, especially if they were paper filed or if there were processing delays. First step - check your proof of filing (confirmation email if e-filed, certified mail receipt if paper filed). Then call the IRS to verify they received it.

Keep that confirmation number handy when you call them. Makes things go way smoother!

Hey! I've been seeing a lot of confusion like this lately. The best way to actually understand what's happening with your return is using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on. It's only $1 and way better than playing detective. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Did you file through a tax preparer? Sometimes they submit but it doesn't actually go through and they dont tell u

Check your transcript online if you can. Sometimes these letters go out automatically even when your return is actually in the system but just stuck somewhere in processing.
