I have lived in NC since 2017 and plan on selling in 2024. For tax purposes, I consider PA as my home even though all my registrations are in NC, including vehicle, voting, and driver's license.

I received a letter back several months ago about my 2020 tax returns. The letter stated that their records showed my wife was deceased, but she was disabled. I sent a statement with her social security number to clarify. The refund was for $429, and I haven't heard anything back since. It's time to file again. How can I proceed with my tax return and track my refund?
