I just received an IRS Tax Compliance Report (Letter 6201) and I'm really concerned. The report is labeled "This report contains sensitive taxpayer data" at both the top and bottom of the page. The report shows all my returns as "timely filed by the due date (including extensions)" for tax years 2020, 2022, and 2023, but there's an issue with 2021. For 2021, it states "No return is on file, but filing may be required based on reported income." I absolutely know I filed my 2021 return! Here's what the report shows exactly: Compliance Issue IRS tax records show a possible compliance issue. Filing information IRS tax records show either you filed your return late or you may be required to file a return based on reported income. Note: If you recently filed a return, it can take up to three weeks to show on this report. Visit www.irs.gov or call 800-829-1040 for tax help. Tax period | Tax type | Return filing information 2023 | 1040 Series | Return was timely filed by the due date (including extensions). 2022 | 1040 Series | Return was timely filed by the due date (including extensions). 2021 | 1040 Series | No return is on file, but filing may be required based on reported income. 2020 | 1040 Series | Return was timely filed by the due date (including extensions). The report shows I don't have any unpaid federal income, employment, or excise tax debt, and there are no late payments for the most recent four tax years. They also haven't assessed any fraud penalties in the last five years. The exact wording is: Amount you owe IRS tax records don't show any unpaid federal income, employment or excise tax debt. Additional information IRS tax records show no late payments of federal income, employment, or excise taxes for the most recent four tax years. We haven't assessed fraud penalties in the last five years. But I'm really worried about this 2021 filing status and how it might affect my 2024 refund. The document is labeled as "Letter 6201 (Rev. 6-2020)" with "Catalog Number 72523W" at the bottom. The report mentions that recently filed returns can take up to three weeks to show up, but this is from 2021, so that's not the issue here. They provided the IRS website (www.irs.gov) and phone number (800-829-1040) for tax help, but I want to know what I should do to resolve this. Should I refile my 2021 return? This is really stressing me out!
Check your bank records too. If you got a refund for 2021, thats proof you filed!
good idea! gonna look rn

Call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. Sometimes you can get lucky and get through. Best times to call are early morning or right before they close.
LOL good luck getting through. I tried 47 times last week š

Protip: If you want real answers about your refund status, use taxr.ai - it reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening. Way better than these vague IRS answers we keep getting. Been using it weekly to track my refund progress.
just tried it and its actually pretty amazing. shows everything in plain english instead of those confusing codes

Pro tip: document everything related to your kids living with you (school records, medical bills, etc). They might ask for proof later.
thanks for the heads up! gonna start collecting everything now

im in the same boat, verified 3 weeks ago still waiting...this whole process is ridiculus tbh
welcome to IRS hell lol. Been waiting 2 months post-verification š

Pro tip: Take pictures of everything you bring and get the name of who helps you. Makes following up way easier if theres any issues
Smart! Will do that for sure

Pro tip: get your transcript instead of checking WMR. Way more accurate. If you need help reading it use taxr.ai - saved me hours of googling random codes
