Lee B Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Copied from IRS eNews: " Update on backlog of unopened checks The IRS is processing a backlog of mail due to COVID-19, and paper checks mailed to the IRS, either with or without a tax return, may still be unopened. Taxpayers in this situation should not cancel their checks and should make sure funds remain available so the IRS can process them to avoid potential penalties and interest. The IRS credits payments using the postmarked date on mail – rather than the date they opened and processed them – so they will not be late if postmarked timely. The IRS will provide relief to taxpayers for bad check penalties for dishonored checks the agency received between March 1 and July 15, 2020, due to delays in IRS mail processing." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 There are doing better on current payments, since I mailed my 3rd quarter estimate on Sept 12th and it was cashed on Sept 23rd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 It's taking longest for my trust clients. I thought all payments went to bank lock boxes so the IRS employees couldn't steal them... I mean so the IRS didn't have to process them.
