Pro tip: if you're having trouble with the CA FTB website, try calling their automated refund hotline at 1-800-338-0505. It's usually faster than the website and gives you the same info. You can also set up text alerts so they'll notify you when your refund is processed. Good luck!

ugh im so sorry youre dealing with this. my daughter has similar issues and the financial strain is already unbearable without irs delays. sending you strength š
I'm so sorry you're going through this - having a child with special needs and dealing with IRS delays is an incredibly stressful combination. A few suggestions that might help: 1. Document EVERYTHING related to your child's medical expenses and needs. Create a hardship letter explaining how the delay is affecting your ability to provide necessary care. 2. Try the Taxpayer Advocate Service - they're specifically designed for cases like yours where there's demonstrable hardship. Yes, they're backlogged, but they do prioritize cases involving disabled dependents. 3. Contact your congressional representative's office. Many have dedicated staff for IRS issues and can sometimes expedite cases faster than going through normal channels. 4. In the meantime, reach out to local autism support organizations, food banks, and your child's medical providers about emergency assistance programs while you wait. The 810 code is frustrating because it's often just a routine verification that takes forever to clear. But with proper documentation of hardship, you may be able to get it expedited. Don't give up - keep pushing through all available channels. Your child's needs are legitimate grounds for priority handling. Hang in there. This will resolve, and there are people and resources to help bridge the gap until it does. ā¤ļø

Has anyone tried contacting the IRS through their online account system? I heard they added a messaging feature but I can't figure out how to use it effectively.
I use the online account and while it's good for checking payment history and getting transcripts, the messaging feature is super limited. You can only send very specific types of messages about a handful of topics, and they take weeks to respond. It's not useful for time-sensitive issues or anything complicated.

Last resort option that worked for me: contact your congressional representative's office. Seriously. I was having a major issue that needed resolution and couldn't get through to anyone at the IRS for months. Called my congressman's office, explained the situation, and they have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal agency issues. They contacted the IRS on my behalf and I had my issue resolved within 2 weeks. They have special channels to cut through the red tape when regular citizens can't get through.

ā¢I never would have thought of contacting my representative! That's a really smart idea if nothing else works. Did you have to provide them with personal tax info or just explain the general situation?
You just need to explain the general situation and provide basic info like your name, SSN, and what type of issue you're having. They have you sign a privacy release form so they can communicate with the IRS on your behalf, but you don't need to share detailed tax documents with the congressional office itself. They basically act as an intermediary to escalate your case to someone at the IRS who can actually help. It's definitely worth trying if you've exhausted all other options!

I see people on TikTok still claiming to get early deposits, but I think they're just recycling content from previous years to get views. Literally everyone I know personally has gotten their refund exactly on DDD date this year.

ā¢They're doing the same thing on YouTube. All those "GET YOUR REFUND EARLY" videos from January were completely wrong this year.

This is super helpful info! I was going crazy wondering why my refund wasn't coming early like last year. Filed in February and my DDD is tomorrow - now I know to expect it exactly then instead of checking my account obsessively starting 5 days ago š The IRS really should have communicated this change better to taxpayers. Would have saved a lot of stress and confusion!
