IRS says return is 'unpostable' - accepted 1/17, no movement. What does this mean?

An unpostable return means there's a technical issue preventing your return from being properly processed in the IRS system. Common reasons include incorrect SSN, name mismatch with SSA records, or duplicate filing. You'll need to wait for a notice from the IRS explaining the specific issue. Usually takes 2-3 weeks to receive it. Once you get the notice, you can address whatever's causing the problem.

An unpostable return means there's a technical issue preventing your return from being fully processed in the IRS system. Common reasons include mismatched info with SSA records, previous year return issues, or identity verification needed. You should receive a letter within 2-3 weeks explaining the specific issue. Call the IRS back and ask for the specific unpostable code - that'll tell you exactly what's wrong.
