it takes 6 months for IRS to process taxes when we mail it. Does this mean that I will have no proof of filing taxes until IRS accepts it? Or as soons as we file, it is enough for evidence? do you know the answer?

Dear redro and joseph, i have very similar question on this: it takes 6 months for IRS to process taxes when we mail it. Does this mean that I will have no proof of filing taxes until IRS accepts it? Or as soons as we file, it is enough for evidence? do you know the answer? 

A copy of the tax returns you filed, along with all supporting documentation such as schedules, W2s, etc.  is evidence of having filed taxes.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Why not file online using Turbotax? You'd get tax return transcript much quicker and any refund.

 

I filed on Feb 18, got refund on Mar 6, tax return transcript was available on IRS website for download before March 10 (don't remember exactly)

hello oldUser, I am using turbotax but i cannot e-file without SSN for my spose. Do you know if it lets you e-file without entering it? I left it blank and it gives me warning at the the of the process.

 

Did you file "married filing separately" with a non-resident spose alien (NO SSN) ?

 

i appreciate if you can share your thought.

Sorry cannot help because I'm the immigrant and I had SSN for a long time, before I even adjusted status.
