The returns people are filing right now are 2020 returns.   The IRS has not even begun to accept 2020 returns.   So you must mean your 2019 return that you filed last year.  Did you get a letter from the IRS about your 2019 return?  Read it carefully.  What does it say?

 

 

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE

 

 

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

 

(what the letters from the IRS mean)

I GOT A LETTER FROM THE IRS
