Used family friend to file Jan 29th, was it done wrong?

I used a family friend to file on my behalf, but I can find no evidence it was actually filed. Irs2go just says “information doesn’t match”, if I log into the IRS website it says “Refund not processed” with no indication one was even submitted. It’s been 5 days. I’m not in a huge rush for it but I feel like in the past that, by now, I had something to go off of to be able to track it. The person said it was filed so I don’t really wanna contest them. Is the process just grossly bogged down this year?

Asked him for a copy of your return for your records. I would assume the information on the return should match what’s on file with the IRS.

Filed 1/31 and still does not show as accepted so I’m in the same boat!!

I also filed 1/29 and mine also says no return filed, so I wouldn’t worry about that, it’s normal. Tax season had just opened that day and it takes a while to get around to everyone.

IRS 2 go might be a different concern. That usually comes up pretty quickly, for me it was the very next day. But everything has to exactly match the way it was on the tax return. Maybe just asking them to compare notes with you to check your information would be a friendly way to make sure.
