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? š¤
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?
I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to reach someone for weeks. This system is broken af š©
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
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.

I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is seriously understaffed and overworked. It's not an excuse, but it explains why it's so hard to get through. Hang in there!
