It would seem that the IRS still hasn't even gotten around to opening paper tax returns that were mailed to them in mid-April. Or maybe my tax return never made it there. I have no way of knowing. Their site simply tells me that they can't provide any info on my return, but it also says, the same as it did back in July, that they are having processing delays and not to call them and not to file a second return.
At least my expected refund is relatively small, under $300.
