Whatever you do, DON'T ignore this. I made that mistake and ended up with a much bigger headache. Deal with it asap!
idk man, maybe its time to hire a tax attorney? sounds like youre in deep water
Anyone else think its weird that we have to verify our identity AFTER filing? Shouldn't that be a step before we submit all our personal info? π€
Pro tip: if you're really desperate, contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along if you're experiencing financial hardship due to the delay.
I've never heard of this before. How do I get in touch with them?
Anyone else feel like we need a support group for people dealing with IRS identity verification? π We could call it "IRS Survivors Anonymous" or something
Serious question: has anyone successfully completed the identity verification process without wanting to pull their hair out? Asking for a friend (the friend is me, I'm losing it) π

Have you considered reaching out to a tax professional or CPA? They might be able to handle this for you and save you the hassle of dealing with the IRS directly.

β’I hadn't thought of that. Do you think it's worth the cost for a relatively simple withholding issue?

β’Depends on how complicated your situation is and how much you value your time. For some people, it's totally worth it to let a pro handle it.

Friendly reminder: Be patient with the IRS agents. They're dealing with a lot and being nice can go a long way in getting help. π

β’This! I used to work for the IRS. The nicer callers always got extra effort from me.
