2 Has anyone used Koinly for this purpose? I'm looking at options for sorting out my crypto taxes and that's one I've heard mentioned.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is checking if you have any old email confirmations from your 2021 purchases. Coinbase used to send detailed transaction confirmations that included the exact amount, price, and fees for each purchase. I was in a similar situation last year and found these emails buried in my Gmail - they were a lifesaver for reconstructing my cost basis. Even if you can't find the emails in your inbox, try searching for "Coinbase" or "You bought" in your email from 2021. Also, if you linked a bank account for your purchases, your bank statements from 2021 will show the exact dollar amounts you transferred to Coinbase on specific dates. You can then cross-reference those dates with historical crypto prices to get a pretty accurate cost basis estimate. The IRS accepts reasonable reconstruction methods when original records are unavailable, so don't stress too much about getting it perfect down to the penny. Just document your methodology clearly.

Does anyone know how long amendments are taking to process these days? I filed a 1040X back in November for 2022 and still haven't heard anything.

Just to add some reassurance - I was in almost the exact same situation last year when I forgot to include rental income from a small duplex I own. Filed my original return in early March, realized the mistake a few days later, and immediately filed a 1040X. The key things that worked for me: 1. Filed the amendment right away (didn't wait for original return processing) 2. Included payment for the additional tax owed with the amendment 3. Used certified mail to send it so I had proof of delivery The IRS processed my amendment without any issues, and because I got it filed and paid before April 15th, there were no penalties or interest charges. The whole process took about 4 months to complete, but the important thing was getting it submitted quickly. Don't stress too much about it - honest mistakes happen and the IRS understands that. Just get your 1040X filed ASAP with payment included and you'll be fine!

I'm so stressed about this too! My return was accepted on February 8th and I didn't see ANY movement on WMR until March 1st - that's 22 days of nothing! 😫 When it finally updated, it went straight from "Return Received" to "Refund Approved" and I got my money 3 days later. The whole time I was checking multiple times a day and getting more anxious with each passing day. The IRS is definitely moving slower this year than I've ever seen before!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed on February 28th, accepted the same day, and it's been radio silence from WMR ever since. I keep telling myself to stop checking it obsessively, but working from home makes it way too easy to refresh that page every few hours. Reading through everyone's experiences here is actually really reassuring - sounds like 2-3 weeks with no movement is pretty normal this year, even for simple returns. I think the IRS is just overwhelmed and moving at their own pace. At least we're all in this waiting game together! Thanks for posting this question because I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with my return.

Anyone else notice the -$1 and +$1 amounts? Thats kinda weird

Just wanted to add that if you haven't received your refund yet even though code 846 shows 02-13-2025, give it a few more business days. Sometimes there can be delays with direct deposit or mailing depending on your bank or address. The IRS typically says to wait 21 days from the filing date before inquiring about a missing refund. Since your return was filed on 02-24 according to code 150, you're still within that window. If you don't see it by mid-March, then definitely call the IRS hotline!

If you filed on April 15, 2020 (the extended deadline that year due to COVID), your tax transcript should be available until at least April 15, 2027, as the IRS maintains records for 7 years. If you filed earlier in 2020 for your 2019 taxes, you still have plenty of time before those records expire. One thing that hasn't been mentioned: if you've moved since 2019, make sure you're using your address from that year when requesting transcripts by mail. The IRS will only send sensitive information to the address they have on file from that tax year unless you've formally updated your address with them through Form 8822.

I feel your pain about losing track of important tax documents during stressful times - caring for family can definitely throw off our usual organization systems! Here's what I've learned works best for getting your 2019 AGI: **Try these in order:** 1. **Check your tax software account first** - If you used TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxAct, etc. in 2019, log into that account. They usually keep your returns for 7+ years and it's instant access. 2. **Search your email thoroughly** - Look for "tax confirmation 2019", "e-file accepted", or your tax software's name. Many people save the PDF confirmation emails without realizing it. 3. **Contact your tax preparer** - If you used one, they're required to keep records and this is often the fastest route. 4. **IRS Get Transcript Online** - Go to IRS.gov/transcripts. You'll need to verify your identity with a credit card, mortgage, or auto loan info. 5. **Call the automated transcript line** - 800-908-9946 is less congested than the main number. **Only if all else fails:** Call 800-829-1040 right at 7am when they open. Have your SSN, filing status, and 2019 address ready. The online transcript is usually your best bet if you can get through the verification process. Good luck!
