MAILING IRS

[TAXMAN]

I am concerned. TP recently sent his 2016 return in by certified mail with a rather large refund. If no one around to sign then will tp still get their refund from 2016. BTY they filed a extension in 2017 for the 2016 return. tp has had some long term medical issues and lost half his paperwork. Transcript received closed a lot of holes.Refund or not whats your take?

They have proof of mailing, so they should be fine to get the refund. When... now that's another story. BUT the IRS does pay really good interest!

Check the status via the tracking.  I had to do the same the day before the budget shut down, and someone still accepted the piece even though the office was closed.  It sat for a month or two before processed, but it was there.

IRS just issued notice 2020-66 which extends the RSED for 2016 returns from 4/15/2020 to 7/15/2020

I was typing when Lynn responded.

Just received IR-2020-66.  According to the notice, "for 2016 tax returns, the normal April 15 deadline to claim a refund has also been extended to July 15, 2020.:

Also, according to this notice, 2nd quarter estimated tax payments due on 06/15 have also been moved to July 15.  But, don't forget to check with the states.

Tax software folks are going to have a lot of fun with all these changes..
