pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main IRS line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. theyre usually easier to reach and can help with stuff like this
Ugh, bureaucracy at its finest š¤¦āāļø Good luck navigating this mess, OP. May the odds be ever in your favor!
Pro tip: if you can, try to schedule an in-person appointment at your local IRS office. Sometimes face-to-face interactions can speed things up.
Anyone else feel like the whole tax system needs a major overhaul? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with this archaic bs š
Yeah but good luck getting Congress to agree on anything lol
Have you tried tweeting at the IRS? I know it sounds ridiculous, but sometimes their social media team is more responsive than their phone lines. Worth a shot! š¦
Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! š¤·āāļø You gotta do what you gotta do when dealing with the IRS.
OP, whatever you do, DON'T IGNORE THE LETTER! I made that mistake and ended up with a much bigger headache. Deal with it asap, even if it's annoying.
Has anyone successfully done this verification online? The letter mentions an online option but when I tried, it said I wasn't eligible. Wondering if its just me or if the online thing is a myth lol
I tried too and got the same message. Pretty sure the online option is about as real as my chances of winning the lottery š

Has anyone tried using one of those identity protection services? wondering if it might help streamline the process...

ā¢I use LifeLock. It's okay for general identity protection, but didn't really help with IRS stuff specifically.

ā¢Those services are a waste of money imo. Just freeze your credit for free and keep an eye on your accounts yourself.
