Quick question - did they give you any timeframe for when you'll actually get your refund after sorting out the verification?
Anyone else feel like the IRS is stuck in the stone age? How hard is it to modernize their systems? π¦
For real! It's like they're allergic to efficiency π
Hey guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Can you give more details about how it works? Like, do you have to give them any personal info?
Pro tip: If you're expecting a large refund, consider adjusting your withholdings for next year. It's better to have that money throughout the year than to give the government an interest-free loan!
Whatever you do, DON'T agree to anything or make any payments without fully understanding your situation. The IRS can be pushy, but you have rights!

Has anyone tried negotiating the amount they owe? I've heard you can sometimes get it reduced.

β’That's called an Offer in Compromise. It's a whole different process and pretty complicated. Might want to talk to a tax professional about that one.

β’Ah gotcha, thanks for the info! Might look into that if the payment plan doesn't work out.

PSA: Watch out for scammers claiming to be from the IRS! They'll never call you out of the blue demanding payment.
