It's probably worth setting one up. The tax transcript page lets you see all the forms that they've received and attributed to you (W-2s, 1099s, etc) as well as the machine-read values of all the filings you've sent them.
- at_a_remove 5y agoI see now why I have not done this before. I do not understand anything related to taxes in the slightest. The Record of Account Transcript has "N/A" for this year, while the column to the left of it, headed Return Transcript, has 2020 with a star by it, which "Indicates the availability of a Verification of Non-Filing letter for the year." This does not make sense to me, since the instructions on the refund checking page say to not send a second return if they haven't gotten to yours yet. So I am more in the dark than when I started.
- OldHand2018 5y agoIf you filed electronically and received an acceptance, then they have your return. Once they start processing it, the N/A and the "Verification of Non-Filing" disappear. When they are done, the real data appears in the N/A spot. Basically, don't bother checking the refund status until the N/A goes away.
