Tax Advocate wants 1099-R by Oct 5 - Faxed it but can't confirm receipt

Finally heard from my tax advocate who says my verification is done but I need to submit a 1099-R form. I faxed it right away but now I can't get ahold of anyone to confirm they got it. The fax machine said it went through but im getting nervous about the October 5th deadline.

As long as your fax confirmation shows successful transmission, you're covered. Keep that confirmation page! The IRS considers the postmark/transmission date as the receipt date. You can also mail a copy certified mail as backup if you're worried.

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai to track my transcript and it's been super helpful for situations like this. It costs $1 but it actually tells you when documents are received and processed. Way better than calling the IRS or checking WMR constantly. https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it analyze everything in your transcript?

Yeah it breaks down every code and tells you exactly whats happening with your refund. It even predicted when my deposit would hit - accurate to the day! Best dollar I ever spent fr fr 💯

Pro tip: if you can't reach your advocate, try calling right when they open at 7am EST. That's how I finally got through after weeks of trying.
