Are there others that still don't have their mailed tax return in the system yet? It's been 6 weeks for me and certified mail says it was delivered. The portal is showing no return received.
Before you tell me to efile, I'd love to, it wasn't an option on this return.
I was a nanny employer for two periods in 2022 and 2024. I collected and paid withholding for the nanny to the IRS quarterly with (I think) the quarterly returns. I filed annual personal 1040s and filled out the section for nanny tax (Schedule H), not realizing that was only if I had not paid quarterly as a business. Essentially I paid these taxes twice, realizing this just recently. Why is it so confusing...
End of 2025 I received a letter from the IRS that I had credits or a balance that was going to expire (or something along those lines). I finally got on the phone with someone who said no, it wouldn't expire, but basically they needed to do something with those funds because I had never filed a return. I didn't realize I needed to file another annual return after making the quarterly employer contributions and submitting a W3. We confirmed that I would receive a refund for what was paid and she was sending alllllll the transcripts. I received 16 or some transcripts in the mail, but nothing ever happened with the refund - I never got any checks. I'm not sure what to do at this point and every time I call it's of course impossible to get a hold of anyone.
