I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to reach someone for weeks. This system is broken af š©
I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is so understaffed and underfunded, it's ridiculous. We need to pressure our representatives to give them more resources so we don't have to deal with this bs.
Anyone else feel like we need a support group for people dealing with IRS identity verification? š 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) š
Has anyone tried reaching out to their congressperson? I've heard that can sometimes help with IRS issues.
Yep, just look up your rep's website and there should be a 'Contact Us' section. They usually have staff dedicated to helping with federal agency issues.
Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get our own money back? The whole system needs an overhaul smh

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.

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

ā¢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. š

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