@itonewbie  "I think a lot of people confuse electronic filing with actual processing of returns"

What confuses people is that original returns are not reviewed by IRS for tax issues -- they are not "examined."  With paper returns, one clerk looks at them to make sure they are in an acceptable format, and then a keypunch clerk enters the data.  With electronic returns, the software performs both functions.  Neither the clerks, nor the software, look for audit issues.  E-filed amended returns, however, must still pass a smell test.  If the OP wants to tell us the issue and amount involved in his/her return,  it might illustrate how the system works.
