Have you tried reaching out to your congressional representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the IRS and get things moving.

ā¢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.
Thanks for the tip! I did freeze my credit right after it happened. It's definitely been a hassle, but better safe than sorry.
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.

ā¢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.

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!

ā¢This! š I started doing this a couple years ago and it's so much better. More money in each paycheck and no stress about refund delays

Anyone else feel like the IRS is just throwing darts at a board to decide who to penalize? šÆš¤
PREACH š I swear they have it out for us little guys
Lia Quinn
ā¢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

Anyone else feel like the IRS is stuck in the stone age? How hard is it to modernize their systems? š¦

ā¢To be fair, they're dealing with massive amounts of sensitive data. Upgrades take time and have to be super secure. But yeah, it's frustrating af for us users.

Protip: If you're having trouble with the IRS website, try accessing it during off-peak hours. Like super early in the morning or late at night. Sometimes it's just overloaded during the day.
