Has anyone seen an insane increase in their escrow payments? I just went from a payment of $1,884 a month($526 for escrow) to a new payment starting April 1 of $2,475 because of escrow payment. That’s almost $600 more monthly. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? My mortgage has recently been sold to another lender, and at the time of transfer I had a -$1,300 escrow balance as a disclaimer. Thank you!

NJ Personal Income tax question:
My wife and I file a joint return. We were part time residents in 2020z unfortunately, we both filed our joint tax return. My wife sent via paper and I sent electronically. Any idea what happens now? Can't get ahold of anyone.
