At this point the IRS is completely confusing as to understanding whether they've received things. I've seen a non-profit where the IRS was sending them a request for what the letter said was an unfiled annual return, while at the same time, the IRS had the processed annual return they were requesting publicly available on their own website. This is without identifying number confusion. I can't imagine what it would be like with that. I have to assume that they have some serious database problems that they are completely unable to handle, likely because of staffing and budget cuts that appear to have been intended to cripple them.
