Tax Return Processing

[windmill]

My brother passed away in June 2021.  He always filed at least six months or more late.  As executor I efiled his 2020 tax return in December 2021(delayed because of probate proceeding)  and it was accepted and I wrote a check and mailed it for what he owed($2500). Check has not cleared as of today(May 20th).  No letter or nothing. Tried calling many times but got the same recording as others are getting--too busy, call back tomorrow. Efiled his 2021 tax return and owed nothing.

So sorry for your loss with this aggravation compounding pain.  I do hope things will clear soon for you.

I believe I read something several months ago that the IRS will not process a check once it's more than 90 days after the date of the check?
