I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to reach someone for weeks. This system is broken af š©
I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is so understaffed and underfunded, it's ridiculous. We need to pressure our representatives to give them more resources so we don't have to deal with this bs.
Has anyone tried reaching out to their congressperson? I've heard that can sometimes help with IRS issues.
Yep, just look up your rep's website and there should be a 'Contact Us' section. They usually have staff dedicated to helping with federal agency issues.
Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get our own money back? The whole system needs an overhaul smh
Anyone else feel like the whole tax system is just designed to be confusing af? Like, why do we even need to 'verify' our identity to the people who already have all our info? š
Quick question - does anyone know if this identity verification thing affects your refund if you're expecting one? I'm still waiting on mine and wondering if this is why
Yeah, it can delay your refund. They won't process it until the verification is complete. Happened to me last year.
Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Guess I better get on this asap. Thanks!

Anyone else think its weird that we have to verify our identity AFTER filing? Shouldn't that be a step before we submit all our personal info? š¤

Pro tip: if you're really desperate, contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along if you're experiencing financial hardship due to the delay.

ā¢You can find your local office on the IRS website. Just search for 'Taxpayer Advocate Service' and there should be a tool to locate the nearest one to you.
