You Didn't Print the Online Receipt?

I've always included a check in my manual tax return so this hasn't been an issue for me (i.e., copy of the cancelled check).

If you didn't print the online receipt, what about a copy of the entry in your bank account showing the payment to the IRS equal to the amount owning per the tax return (plus what ever penalties / interest would have been added).

I did print the online receipt.

I also showed them the bank statement showing the payment cleared my account.

That doesn't satisfy them. They want something from the IRS that says "LondonDomer owes the IRS $0"

Ask the lender to have a manager review this.

The lender should accept the receipt and bank statement showing the payment cleared your account.
Trying this avenue.

They're being annoyingly inflexible, especially for such a small amount of money.

Hmmm....

.... the only thing I can think of is if they would accept the fact that what you owed was significantly less than your net worth (assuming it is).

They would typically already likely have your net worth from other forms you filled out.

Assuming that your net worth (including any 401K's, IRA's, etc.) exceeds your 2018 tax bill, that is.

Other than that, nothing else comes to mind. Curious how it turns out for you London.
