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.
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.
I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my refund for 6 months now. Every time I call, it's a different story. Hang in there!
Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation 3. Make copies of everything 4. Send it all via certified mail 5. Follow up with a call after 2 weeks It's a pain, but it got the ball rolling on my case. Good luck!
This is solid advice. I did something similar and it helped resolve my issue.
Anyone else feel like they're playing the world's worst lottery every time they check for updates? š°š¤”
LOL too real. Except in this lottery, we're just trying to get our own money back šš
I heard a rumor that the IRS is super backed up this year because of all the stimulus payments and child tax credit stuff. Anyone know if that's true?
Yeah, I read an article about that. Apparently they're still processing returns from 2020 in some cases. It's a mess.

Whatever you do, DON'T fall for any scams. There are a lot of people out there pretending to be the IRS. Remember, the real IRS will never call you out of the blue demanding money or threatening to arrest you.
