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?
Have you checked if there were any changes to tax laws or deductions for 2021? Sometimes a big bill can come from missing out on a form or a change in how certain income is taxed. Might be worth talking to a tax professional to review your return.
That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know if there were any major changes that year?
There were quite a few due to COVID relief measures. Things like unemployment benefits, stimulus checks, and changes to itemized deductions. A pro could help you make sure everything was reported correctly.
lol imagine thinking the IRS actually cares about us peasants 𤔠They'll take our money quick enough but god forbid we need something from them
Preach! š The whole system is rigged against us
Has anyone tried faxing? I know it sounds ancient, but I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? š
I know, right? But desperate times call for desperate measures. If it works, it works!
Serious question: has anyone ever sued the IRS for delays? Like, if we're late with taxes, we get penalized. Shouldn't it work both ways?
Pro tip: if you adjust your W-4 to have less withheld throughout the year, you won't have to wait for a big refund. It's better to have that money in your pocket each paycheck anyway!
This! š I started doing this last year and it's been a game changer. No more waiting on the IRS!

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!

ā¢It worked for me! Took about 20 minutes but way better than being on hold forever.
