ugh im so tired of the irs and there incompetence. we pay are taxes on time but when its time for them to pay us back suddenly everythings slow and 'processing' š
Hey, former IRS employee here. The verification process can be frustrating, I know. One thing to keep in mind is that if there's any mismatch between the info you provided and what they have on file, it can slow things down significantly. Make sure all your addresses, SSNs, and reported incomes are 100% accurate. Also, if you filed by paper instead of electronically, that can add weeks to the process.
Any other pro tips from your time there? š
Always keep copies of EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. It'll save you so much hassle if there's ever an audit or discrepancy.
have u tried prayin to the IRS gods? ššø I hear they accept sacrifices in the form of completed 1040 forms lmao
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should just be grateful we're getting a refund at all? I mean, it's our own money we overpaid, but still... some people owe thousands.
Lol nah, just trying to stay positive. Trust me, I'm as annoyed as everyone else about the wait.
Anyone else think its sus that the IRS can just send these scary notices whenever they want? Like, how do we know its not a scam? š¤
Bruh, the IRS literally puts anti-scam warnings on their notices. If you're worried, you can always call their official number to verify.
Fair point. I'm just paranoid I guess lol
Hey OP, once you open the notice, you might want to check out r/tax. They have some really knowledgeable people who might be able to give more specific advice.

Here's what worked for me after dealing with this for over a month: 1. Log out of your account completely 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies (as mentioned earlier) 3. Use a different browser or device to log back in 4. Before updating anything, go to your security settings and temporarily disable any two-factor authentication 5. Update your profile info 6. Immediately after updating, re-enable two-factor auth 7. Log out and log back in to verify changes stuck If that doesn't work, try accessing the site during off-peak hours (like super early morning). Sometimes the system gets overloaded and glitchy during busy times. Also, make sure you're using a secure, private internet connection. Public Wi-Fi can sometimes cause issues with sensitive info updates. If all else fails, you might need to request a manual review of your account. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get things sorted. Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it figured out.
