1040 paper filing

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

My wife filed via the mail due to needing an itin for me since we wanted to file jointly. I leave for montreal for my interview tomorrow. I just got an email telling me I needed a 1040,but we haven't got any kind of receipt or acknowledgement in the mail so how do we obtain this? What do we do? I don't want to get delayed for something that's not our fault but that is the government's fault that we've received nothing back!

I do have a copy of the turbo tax print out that she sent in, but we have no receipt.

And we sent in the tax forms over a month ago.

I also had to mail in a paper return, and was told it will take 11 weeks to process

You should bring a copy of the complete return that was filed, including the W2 submitted-the main form submitted for your return is called a 1040

you should not be expected to provide a receipt if you provide this information

The only part of the return I don't have is the itin form and letter. Will this likely be okay? Sorry, I'm just waiting for something to go wrong.

You should be ok just take everything you have for the tax form. You do not ever get anything back from the irs. One it is filed it is filed. Always keep copies of everything submitted with the tax forms.

yes this should be ok-the w7 (ITEN application) is not actually part of the return, and I am assuming you mean receipt letter your wife received when she filed? (I got one as I submitted my return in paper in person) You do not need this, but can provide it if you want

Just the copy of the return printed from turbo tax + a copy of the w2 and you should be all set

No, I meant the letter we submitted with the return stating that we wanted me to be treated as a resident alien for this year's taxes.

Thank you, guys. I was a bit freaked out as I don't speak taxes. I actually have the return printed and photocopied, I just assumed 1040 would mean a receipt. We have no receipt of any kind.

[Kastrs 723]

No you do not need your resident declaration letter

like i said just the return you print from turbo tax plus the w2

the 1040 is the tax return form

you have what you need, so no need to worry about it
