I didn’t file taxes in 2004 or 2005. I just thought I didnt make that much so whatever. Didnt realize that I get $$ for my daughter, etc. I am wondering if for 2004 2005 they have to be mailed in or if there is someway to efile those. Also wondering (I know they say it can take up to 90 to process returns) how soon it could be processed when paper returns are mailed in. I know w/ state that was efiled i had the check in less than a week and they said it could take 21 days. Any info would help, i need to get car fixed!! thanks!

You will have to mail in your previous tax returns. they are not accepting efile for prior years (probably scared that they will get things mixed up between tax years or something).
You are looking at AT LEAST 6-8 weeks, probably longer since they are focusing on this years tax return.

Get they paper-filed ASAP! That’s the only way to get YOUR money.

Returns for previous years have to be mailed in. You might get lucky and get your money in six weeks or so but would probably take longer, but it’s money you don’t have now, and the sooner you file, the sooner they’ll process it.
