Hey OP, if you're really stuck, you might want to consider reaching out to your local congressperson's office. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal issues, including IRS problems. It's a long shot, but it might help move things along.
I did it last year when I had issues with my stimulus payment. Took about 2 weeks to hear back, but they were able to help push things through. Worth a shot!
I work in tax prep, and unfortunately, this is becoming more common. Here are some additional tips: 1. Check if you can file a paper return instead of online. 2. Consider using an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for future filings. 3. Be prepared for a longer refund wait time while they investigate. 4. If you usually get state refunds, check with your state tax agency too. Hang in there, it's a process but it'll get resolved!
UGH THE IRS IS THE WORST!!! I've been trying to get info from them for MONTHS. This system is so broken. π€¬
Quick tip: start setting aside some money now if you can. Even if it turns out to be a mistake, having a little cushion will help if you do end up having to repay something.
lol remember when unemployment was supposed to HELP us? π€‘ now we're all stressing about overpayments and repayments. what a world
ikr? π It's like playing financial Russian roulette every time you apply for benefits

Hey OP, just a heads up - sometimes these notifications can be scams. Make sure you're calling the official IRS number and not some sketchy one from an email or text.

β’Thanks for the warning! I double-checked and it's definitely the legit IRS website and number. But good looking out! π

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all just did our taxes right the first time, we wouldn't have to deal with this mess π€·ββοΈ

β’Fair enough. I guess I'm just frustrated with the whole system. We're all trying our best here.
