Pro tip: If you're really in a bind, contact your local congressman's office. They have liaisons who can sometimes cut through the red tape and get answers from the IRS faster than we mere mortals can.
This actually works! I did this last year and got my refund within 2 weeks after months of waiting. 10/10 would recommend

This happened to me last year. Turns out my check was stolen and cashed by someone else. It was a nightmare to sort out. Make sure you keep an eye on your credit report just in case.

ā¢It took about 3 months to get it all sorted. Yeah, I eventually got my refund, but I had to file a police report and everything. It was a whole thing.
