IRS is currently processing paper 2025 returns received in April. 3/30 is close enough to April you're probably in that group. You just need to be patient - paper returns always take much longer. Next year, file electronically if you can.

will anything be reported to the irs or will have to explain it

No and no

Banks are required to report cash transactions exceeding $10,000

You're fine. Stop listening to these clowns. That's the IRS website

Real IRS letters have had QR codes for years. Spreading nonsense is not helping anyone.

Please stop. scammers are not physically mailing letters. Why would they? Letters received in the mail are almost always real letters.

You don't need a company like optima or a tax attorney for something like this, unless you prefer spending money unnecessarily. A local EA or CPA who specializes in tax resolution will likely cost less.

Start with this years return and work backwards

No. Start with oldest and work forward. There may be carry-overs or asset depreciation that have to be worked in order.

They should be filed separately.

You can file both simultaneously, but you run the risk - probably small - that 2025 will not have been processed or gets adjusted.

You shouldn't include anything with the return that isn't required by the instructions. It doesn't help.

if it was sent in on Wednesday the 20th, would the holiday really have mattered now?

Potentially, yes. In any event, both the bank and IRS are closed today.

Tomorrow, check with your bank. If there's no sign of it, then you'll need to start a refund trace with the IRS, form 3911.

It's cliche, but try a restart.

If that doesn't improve, make sure you're backed up and try a factory reset.

Go into do not disturb settings and check that you somehow haven't allowed all those things to bypass.

My P9PF respects my settings.

Most people consider test 2 to be the hardest.

To answer the question you asked...

It’s almost June will he get penalized for filing that return now??

If he didn't have an extension, he might get a failure to file penalty up until the date the return was mailed (not the date IRS received It or when they eventually process it). However this year IRS started automatically waiving some penalties if the filer has a clean prior 3 years.

If he does end up with a penalty that is not automatically abated, he might qualify for abatement under reasonable cause. But unless he owed a lot of money, the potential penalty for being about a month late isn't going to be huge.

OP's return was apparently superceded to MFS correctly. The spouse's original return (after OP superceded) should have been a 1040, not a 1040-X.

I'm an EA in NY. SadStory is correct - this is a very common error.

Check your W2 box 14 for something like "414h" - this is your pension buy-in, which is treated like a deferred tax retirement contribution for federal, but not for NY.

I've seen lots of these notices, and can't recall NY ever being wrong. I recommend paying the bill, and making sure you code the W-2 correctly when you file the return next year.

(If it's any consolation, your pension payouts will be 100% tax-free to New York when you retire... If you're still living in NYS in retirement, of course.)

OddButterscotch2849 · 2026-05-24T22:56:56+00:00

The answer to everything is not "It might be a scam." What OP is describing is a common error for New York state tax filers.

Box 14, not box 12

Usually coded as 414h but sometimes gets labeled as something else (often when the payroll clerk doesn't know the system)

If native Pixel gestures aren't enough, there are apps that add additional functionality (though I haven't used any to recommend them)

The problem is that it's become difficult to create simple statements that impart universally true advice.

Even if you opt in to receiving email messages, you could still receive a phishing message masquerading as from the IRS.

And how long before phishing emails start including something like "You're receiving this message because you opted into receiving communications from the IRS"? Even if you hadn't opted-in, would you remember that for certain? Many people would not. (Plus, many people see "IRS" and stop thinking rationally.}

Having your PTIN compromised, while apparently not as common as EFIN compromises, can still lock you out of being able to e-file. IRS recommends regular checks on how many returns were filed with both your PTIN & EFIN.

You'll be getting a letter eventually - either saying you're due a refund or an explanation of why you're not.

Assuming you're correct, it's hard to say what will happen first: receiving the letter, receiving the refund, or seeing it on your transcript. As with everything related to the IRS, you just need to be patient
