Analysis
Check View Filed Returns for the status. If it shows pending verification and more than 30 days have passed, the return is treated as not filed unless you verify with a condonation request. If the return was filed for the wrong year, you may need to file for the right year now. Once fixed, respond on the Compliance Portal with the acknowledgement number.
