lol remember when filing taxes was just... filing taxes? Now we need secret agent PINs and shit. What's next, retinal scans? š
Don't give them ideas! š¤£
Has anyone had experience with getting an IP PIN if you're a victim of identity theft? I heard the process is different.
Yeah, it's a bit more involved. You'll need to file Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) first. Then the IRS will automatically assign you an IP PIN for future filings.
Thanks for the info. Ugh, more forms... š©

PSA: Be careful of scams! There are a lot of people out there trying to take advantage of folks dealing with IRS issues. Always double check you're on the official IRS website and never give out personal info over the phone unless you initiated the call.

ā¢Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely be careful. Any red flags I should watch out for?
The biggest one is if anyone asks for payment via gift cards or wire transfer. The IRS will NEVER do that. Also, be wary of unsolicited calls claiming to be from the IRS. They usually contact you by mail first.

Pro tip: if you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, it should come faster. If you did paper filing or requested a paper check, prepare to wait... and wait... and wait...
Anyone else notice how the IRS can take our money instantly but takes forever to give it back? š¤ Make it make sense!

ā¢Conspiracy theory: they're using our refunds to fund a secret underground city for lizard people š¦š

Question for the OP: How long have you had your payment plan? Sometimes if it's been a while, you might qualify for an offer in compromise to settle for less than you owe.
I've had the plan for about 8 months now. I'll look into the offer in compromise, thanks for the tip!

Pro tip: Always request a transcript of your account when dealing with IRS issues. It shows all transactions and can help you spot any discrepancies. You can get it online through their website.
