I paper filed my tax return on February 9, 2026. Later, I received confirmation that my return was received on March 12, 2026 in the federal tax refund portal.

On April 11, 2026, I received an IRS letter stating that my tax return was missing original signatures. In response, I signed the declaration form along with my spouse and submitted it through IRS.gov/connect using my ID.me secure message account. I also created a case for this issue and uploaded all required documents, including the LTR 12C letter and signed forms, on April 20, 2026.

However, when I contacted the IRS today to check the status, the agent informed me that they do not have my 2025 tax return on record and suggested that I refile.

Could you please confirm whether I need to refile my tax return again or if I should wait for the current submission to be processed?

Thank you.
