Have you tried reaching out to your congressional representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the IRS and get things moving.
I second this! My cousin did this and suddenly her refund issue got resolved in like 2 weeks. Worth a shot!
I'm in the same boat, OP. Identity theft is no joke. I've been dealing with it for 2 years now. Make sure you also put a freeze on your credit reports if you haven't already. It's a pain, but it helps prevent further damage.
Has anyone tried using the IRS2Go app? I heard you can request a PIN through that too, but I'm not sure how reliable it is.
I tried it last year and it worked fine for me. The interface is a bit clunky, but it gets the job done. Just make sure you have a strong internet connection when you use it.
Anyone else feel like the IRS is just throwing darts at a board to decide who to penalize? šÆš¤
Nah, they're just underfunded and overworked. Doesn't excuse mistakes, but explains a lot.
Whatever you do, DON'T ignore the notice. That'll only make things worse. Trust me, I learned the hard way š
pro tip: if u get disconnected, call back and ask for a manager immediately. explain what happened and theyll usually bump u up the queue. worked for me last time!
Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand these notices? š¤ Why can't they write them in plain English?
For real! I always feel like I'm decoding some secret message š

Has anyone tried contacting their local Taxpayer Advocate Service? I've heard they can sometimes help with refund delays if you're experiencing financial hardship.

Pro tip: If you're expecting a big refund next year, consider adjusting your withholdings instead. It's basically giving the government an interest-free loan otherwise!
