have u checked if theres any errors on ur original tax return? sometimes small mistakes can hold things up for ages
Hey OP, don't forget to ask about the different types of payment plans. There's a short-term one if you can pay within 180 days, and it has lower fees.
Plot twist: what if we all just... didn't pay? š Jk jk don't come for me IRS
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!

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