Hi all. First time submitting taxes via mail. Trying to figure out next steps.
From what I understand, I have to send taxes by mail due to my wife not being an American citizen, but also needing to be present on the taxes. She doesn’t have a ssn due to her not being American. We also live abroad.
I sent my taxes march 19th via international mail. Today is may 5th. I called the irs and they say they don’t have any record of my taxes. I double checked the address I sent to, and it is correct. I made the mistake of not adding tracking to the package.
The deadline for expat taxes is June 15th I believe. I’m debating if I should wait another week to see if they show up in the system, or if I should send them again tomorrow.
Also, the IRS person said I should file for an extension. Though, if I send them again tomorrow, they will arrive before June 15th. Do I need to really file for an extension?
Thank you anyone for your replies.
