Anyone else think its sus that the IRS can just send these scary notices whenever they want? Like, how do we know its not a scam? š¤
Bruh, the IRS literally puts anti-scam warnings on their notices. If you're worried, you can always call their official number to verify.
Fair point. I'm just paranoid I guess lol
Hey OP, once you open the notice, you might want to check out r/tax. They have some really knowledgeable people who might be able to give more specific advice.
Pro tip: call your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help cut through the red tape and get things resolved faster.
Plot twist: what if the notice is actually correct and you do owe money? š¤ Might be worth double-checking your records before going through all the trouble of disputing it.
Trust me, I've triple-checked everything. This is definitely their mistake.
Fair enough! Just wanted to make sure. Good luck fighting the good fight! šŖ
I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my refund for 6 months now. Every time I call, it's a different story. Hang in there!
Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation 3. Make copies of everything 4. Send it all via certified mail 5. Follow up with a call after 2 weeks It's a pain, but it got the ball rolling on my case. Good luck!
This is solid advice. I did something similar and it helped resolve my issue.
Anyone else feel like they're playing the world's worst lottery every time they check for updates? š°š¤”
LOL too real. Except in this lottery, we're just trying to get our own money back šš
I heard a rumor that the IRS is super backed up this year because of all the stimulus payments and child tax credit stuff. Anyone know if that's true?
Yeah, I read an article about that. Apparently they're still processing returns from 2020 in some cases. It's a mess.

Hey, former IRS employee here. The verification process can be frustrating, I know. One thing to keep in mind is that if there's any mismatch between the info you provided and what they have on file, it can slow things down significantly. Make sure all your addresses, SSNs, and reported incomes are 100% accurate. Also, if you filed by paper instead of electronically, that can add weeks to the process.

ā¢Always keep copies of EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. It'll save you so much hassle if there's ever an audit or discrepancy.
