Has anyone tried using the IRS online verification system? I heard they have one now, but idk if it works for 488c letters.
I tried it for a different issue and it was actually pretty smooth. Might be worth checking out!
Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through to the IRS to ask questions, I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Why should we have to pay to talk to the IRS tho? The system is so broken š¤
I hear ya, it's not ideal. But for me, the time saved was worth the cost. To each their own tho!
Remember, if you're getting a big refund, you're essentially giving the government an interest-free loan. Adjust your withholdings and put that money to work for YOU throughout the year!
I went through this last year. It's not as scary as it seems. Just be honest and have all your docs ready. You got this! šŖ
Thanks for the encouragement! I feel a bit better now.
Anyone else think its weird that the IRS makes it so hard to give them our money? Like, shouldn't they WANT us to pay taxes? š¤
Bruh for real š It's like they're playing hard to get with our cash
Plot twist: the real identity theft was the IRS stealing our time all along š¤Æ
PSA: Don't forget to check if you qualify for any tax credits or deductions! You might owe less than you think.
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to figure this stuff out ourselves? The tax system is so broken š¤”
Preach! š Other countries have way simpler systems. We're living in the stone age

Has anyone tried using a tax advocate service? I've heard they can sometimes help navigate these issues.
