Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your documents for errors 2. Verify your income against what your employer reported 3. Check if you owe any back taxes or have outstanding debts 4. Try calling the IRS early in the morning (right when they open) 5. If all else fails, consider using a tax advocate service If none of these work, you might need to file an amended return. Don't panic though - sometimes these issues resolve themselves if you give it a little time. The IRS is dealing with a huge backlog, so patience is key. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll definitely work through these steps. Really appreciate the help! šÆ
This is solid advice. I'd add that keeping copies of all correspondence with the IRS is crucial. You never know when you might need to reference something later.
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.

Pro tip: keep copies of EVERYTHING. I learned the hard way that the IRS can lose stuff. Cover your bases and make copies before you send anything in.
