Ugh, I feel your pain OP. I'm in the same boat rn. Been trying to get this sorted for weeks. The IRS is seriously understaffed and overworked. Patience is key... but it suuuucks š«
Quick question - are you sure it's actually from the IRS? There are a lot of scams out there. Make sure the letter is legit before you do anything else.
Check the IRS website, they have examples of their official letters. Also, legit IRS letters always come through USPS, never email. And they'll never ask for personal info over the phone or email.
am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops? like, they already have all our info. why make it so complicated? š¤
It's to prevent fraud, but yeah, they could definitely streamline the process
This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? I read somewhere that sometimes faxing your inquiry can get a faster response than calling or mailing.
Honestly, at this point I'm willing to try anything. Do you know what number to fax?
Guys, I hate to be that person, but have you considered that maybe they found an issue with your return? Sometimes no news isn't good news with the IRS.
I hope not, but you might be right. How would I find out if there's an issue they haven't told me about?
Ive been in the same boat, OP. Took me weeks to finally get my identity verified. Just keep at it and don't give up. You'll get there eventually!
Has anyone tried using the IRS's online identity verification system? I heard they rolled out something new recently but idk if it actually works
I tried it but got stuck halfway through. Ended up having to call anyway š

Quick question - does anyone know if amending your 2023 return affects the processing of your 2024 refund? I'm in a similar situation as OP and wondering if that might be why my 2024 refund is taking so long.

ā¢From what I understand, they're processed separately. But if your 2023 amendment results in you owing money, they might apply your 2024 refund to that debt. Not 100% sure tho, maybe someone else can confirm?
