Has anyone else noticed that the IRS website looks like it was designed in 1995 and never updated? š I swear I get eye strain just looking at it lmao
Friendly reminder to everyone: ALWAYS keep copies of your tax returns and any correspondence with the IRS. You never know when you might need that info, and it can save you a ton of headache down the road.
Pro tip: if you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, it should come faster. If you did paper filing or requested a paper check, prepare to wait... and wait... and wait...
Anyone else notice how the IRS can take our money instantly but takes forever to give it back? š¤ Make it make sense!
Conspiracy theory: they're using our refunds to fund a secret underground city for lizard people š¦š
Question for the OP: How long have you had your payment plan? Sometimes if it's been a while, you might qualify for an offer in compromise to settle for less than you owe.
Pro tip: Always request a transcript of your account when dealing with IRS issues. It shows all transactions and can help you spot any discrepancies. You can get it online through their website.
Have you considered hiring a tax professional to deal with this for you? Sometimes it's worth paying someone who knows how to navigate the system.
I've thought about it, but I'm worried about the cost. Any idea what something like this might run?
It varies, but for a straightforward issue like this, probably a few hundred bucks. Might be worth getting a consultation to see if they think they can help.
tldr: IRS phone system sucks, gather all your docs, be prepared to wait forever, and may the odds be ever in your favor š

PSA: Be careful of scams! There are a lot of people out there trying to take advantage of folks dealing with IRS issues. Always double check you're on the official IRS website and never give out personal info over the phone unless you initiated the call.

ā¢The biggest one is if anyone asks for payment via gift cards or wire transfer. The IRS will NEVER do that. Also, be wary of unsolicited calls claiming to be from the IRS. They usually contact you by mail first.
