I received a welcome letter the day after our case # was assigned. I think it really depends. If you aren't in a rush I would do like you said and wait past the 42 days if you haven't heard anything give a call. Good luck with selling the business!

was it an email?

Yeah RKD, I wouldn't be worried, seems like the documents you sent are ok.. If not you'll know soon. Like the others said, you can call then just to make sure all is fine. Good luck on the waiting...

Question about the AOS...I haven't filed taxes for the past three years so what do I put??? I've seen people say they've put 0, 0.00, didn't file...etc... I just don't want a checklist and am stressing myself out about what to put!
