Plot twist: the IRS is using our refunds to fund their next office party ππ€‘
LOL imagine the IRS throwing a rager with our money πΈπ
Nah, they're probably just using it to buy more red tape ππ«
Serious question: has anyone tried showing up at an IRS office in person? Wonder if that would help or just be a waste of time.
Most offices require appointments now. And good luck getting one of those!
Have you considered reaching out to a tax professional or CPA? They might be able to handle this for you and save you the hassle of dealing with the IRS directly.
I hadn't thought of that. Do you think it's worth the cost for a relatively simple withholding issue?
Depends on how complicated your situation is and how much you value your time. For some people, it's totally worth it to let a pro handle it.
Friendly reminder: Be patient with the IRS agents. They're dealing with a lot and being nice can go a long way in getting help. π
Whatever you do, DON'T ignore this. I made that mistake and ended up with a much bigger headache. Deal with it asap!
Oof, identity verification issues are the worst. Had the same problem last year. Turns out there was a typo in my SSN on file. Double-check all your info is correct, even the stuff you think is fine!
Not to be that guy, but have you considered reaching out to your local congressperson's office? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal benefit issues. Might be worth a shot if you keep hitting walls.
I hadn't even thought of that! That's a great suggestion, thank you. We'll definitely look into it if we can't resolve this soon.
This! π My cousin did this and got her issue resolved in like a week after months of getting nowhere.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to get my AGI for a week now. This whole system is broken. Anyone know if our representatives are doing anything to fix this mess?

β’Actually, there's a bill in committee right now about modernizing IRS systems. Call your rep and tell them to support it!

Pro tip: If you're really stuck, try contacting your tax preparer if you used one. They usually keep records and can help you out in a pinch.
