After you file

You can call [phone number removed] enter 652 when asked for an extension. Then say wmr told you to call or you got the number from a previous years letter. Then you can ask what the status is if they don't say anything. They will refuse (cause that's their training) to give you more info due to the processing time, 8 weeks if mailed in after filing your return, 11 weeks if efiled with your return, 14 weeks if you mailed in your return and the form, or 16 weeks if the form is attached to an amended return. If it has been longer than whichever way you did it, then you need to call them and tell them. They will either transfer you to whoever it got assigned to or they may just hang up. If the rep doesn't transfer you, I would advise calling the Taxpayer Advocate Service at [phone number removed] and letting them know what is going on.
