@DeshaunnDa Great you sure about that? Just curious
Has anyone tried contacting their local Taxpayer Advocate Service? I've heard they can sometimes help with refund delays if you're experiencing financial hardship.
Pro tip: If you're expecting a big refund next year, consider adjusting your withholdings instead. It's basically giving the government an interest-free loan otherwise!
This! π I started doing this a couple years ago and it's so much better. More money in each paycheck and no stress about refund delays
Have you tried reaching out to your congressional representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the IRS and get things moving.
I second this! My cousin did this and suddenly her refund issue got resolved in like 2 weeks. Worth a shot!
I'm in the same boat, OP. Identity theft is no joke. I've been dealing with it for 2 years now. Make sure you also put a freeze on your credit reports if you haven't already. It's a pain, but it helps prevent further damage.
Has anyone tried using the IRS2Go app? I heard you can request a PIN through that too, but I'm not sure how reliable it is.
I tried it last year and it worked fine for me. The interface is a bit clunky, but it gets the job done. Just make sure you have a strong internet connection when you use it.

Whatever you do, DON'T agree to anything or make any payments without fully understanding your situation. The IRS can be pushy, but you have rights!

Has anyone else noticed that the IRS seems even more disorganized lately? I swear it's gotten worse since the pandemic π

β’Totally! I think they're still catching up on the backlog. It's a mess.
