Have you tried using the IRS's online tools? They've improved a lot recently. Might save you some time and hassle.

Just remember, if you owe money, filing an extension doesn't give you more time to pay. Interest will still accrue. Ask me how I know... 💸

Hey OP, just a heads up - sometimes these notifications can be scams. Make sure you're calling the official IRS number and not some sketchy one from an email or text.

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all just did our taxes right the first time, we wouldn't have to deal with this mess 🤷‍♀️

Hey OP, if you're really stuck, you might want to consider reaching out to your local congressperson's office. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal issues, including IRS problems. It's a long shot, but it might help move things along.

lol welcome to the club OP. been waiting on my refund since february. at this point im convinced the irs is just a bunch of sloths 🦥 typing on typewriters or smthn

I work in tax prep, and unfortunately, this is becoming more common. Here are some additional tips: 1. Check if you can file a paper return instead of online. 2. Consider using an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for future filings. 3. Be prepared for a longer refund wait time while they investigate. 4. If you usually get state refunds, check with your state tax agency too. Hang in there, it's a process but it'll get resolved!

unpopular opinion: maybe the person who filed your taxes did a better job than you would have 🤷‍♀️ free tax prep! (i'm kidding, identity theft sucks

UGH THE IRS IS THE WORST!!! I've been trying to get info from them for MONTHS. This system is so broken. 🤬

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help with these issues and might have shorter wait times.

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Check your email for any correspondence from those employers in 2020. You might find full company names there. 2. Look at your resume or LinkedIn. If you listed these jobs, you probably have the full names. 3. Google the partial names along with your city/state. You might get lucky and find the full names. 4. If all else fails, you can request a wage and income transcript from the IRS. It's more detailed than the regular transcript and usually has full employer names. Hope this helps! Let us know if you figure it out.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of taxes where nothing makes sense and everything is a headache 🤪

Quick tip: start setting aside some money now if you can. Even if it turns out to be a mistake, having a little cushion will help if you do end up having to repay something.

lol remember when unemployment was supposed to HELP us? 🤡 now we're all stressing about overpayments and repayments. what a world

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your calls, save any letters or emails you receive, and note down the names of anyone you speak to. It might come in handy if there's any dispute later on.

guys. chill. theyll sort it out eventually. just gotta be patient 🧘‍♂️

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the IRS gods? I hear that speeds up the process 🐐😂

Serious question: has anyone ever successfully sued the IRS for damages caused by their delays? This is getting ridiculous.

Plot twist: the IRS is actually a front for a time travel agency and our tax returns are funding their secret missions 👽🕰️

guys i think we need to face facts. the irs is clearly run by sloths. explains everything
