Hey OP, whatever you do, DON'T use one of those 'tax relief' companies you see advertised on TV. Total rip-off. They'll charge you thousands and do the same thing you can do yourself (or with a regular CPA for way less).
I'm in the same boat, been trying to get this sorted for months. The waiting is the worst part. Feels like I'm just drifting at sea waiting for the IRS to throw me a lifeline or sink me šāµ

Yall ever think about how wild it is that WE have to figure out how much we owe, but somehow they know if we get it wrong? Make it make sense š¤
LOL for real tho š¤£ It's like a weird game of gotcha
Preach! š The whole system needs an overhaul
guys im freaking out. i filed late (like last week) and now im seeing all these posts about delays. am i totally screwed for getting my refund anytime soon??
Omar Fawzi
ā¢Deep breaths, friend. Late filing might slow things down a bit, but it doesn't mean you won't get your refund. Just might take a little longer.
thanks man. guess ill just have to be patient š©

PSA: If you're expecting a large refund, consider adjusting your withholdings so you get more money throughout the year instead of waiting for a big refund. It's basically an interest-free loan to the government!

ā¢This! š I started doing this last year and it's so much better. Plus, you're not at the mercy of IRS delays.
Jean Claude
Anyone else feel like they need a degree in accounting just to file taxes? And then another in patience to actually get your refund? š

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call early in the morning 2. Use the Spanish option (even if you don't speak Spanish) 3. When you get a person, politely ask to be transferred to English-speaking support 4. Be super nice to everyone you talk to It took a few tries, but I finally got through this way. Good luck!
Isn't this kinda unethical tho? Taking up Spanish-speaking resources when you don't need them?
I hear you, but desperate times call for desperate measures. The whole system is broken anyway.

Anyone else notice how they can take our money instantly but when it comes to giving it back, suddenly everything moves at a snail's pace? ššø
Preach! š

Have you considered that maybe you actually do owe the money? I know it sucks, but sometimes we make mistakes on our taxes without realizing it. Might be worth double-checking your math before you go picking a fight with the IRS.

ā¢Trust me, I've gone over my numbers like a million times. I'm pretty sure they've made a mistake, but I'm still nervous about challenging them.

ā¢Fair enough. In that case, def gather all your evidence before you contact them. And maybe consider getting a pro to look it over just to be sure?

PSA: Be careful about giving out personal info if you call the IRS! Lots of scammers out there posing as IRS agents. Always verify you're talking to the real deal before sharing any sensitive data.

ā¢The IRS will never initiate contact by phone. If you call the official number on their website, you should be good. Just don't give out info to anyone who calls you first claiming to be the IRS.
