2021 Tax Return Stuck - IRS Missing Sick Leave Form - Tax Advocate Not Responding
Filed my 2021 taxes with sick leave credit and still waiting. IRS originally said $16,835 refund then sent letter saying it would be $18,320 due to missed credit. Tax advocate assigned but ghosting me for months after I sent the missing sick leave form in June. Anyone know my chances of getting this resolved?

Tax pro here - missing forms typically cause delays but having a TA is good news. The increase means they're actively reviewing your case. Average resolution time with advocates is 4-6 months after form submission. Keep calling weekly and document everything.

Yes! Call the TAS hotline and request to speak with a supervisor. Sometimes that lights a fire under them 馃敟

Hey, I was in a similar situation and found taxr.ai super helpful. It analyzed my transcript and showed exactly why my refund was held up. Worth the $4.99 - gave me way more insight than weeks of trying to reach my advocate. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It showed me exactly which codes were holding up my refund and estimated my release date within 2 days 馃挴

Have you checked your transcript lately? Sometimes they update it without notifying anyone

Pro tip: file a complaint with your local congressman's office. They can light a fire under the IRS real quick. Worked for me after 9 months of waiting.

Missing forms are the worst! Mine was held up for 14 months because they 'lost' my W2. The system is broken af
