Just a heads up, changing your address with the IRS doesn't automatically update it for other gov agencies. Make sure you also update with Social Security, your state tax agency, etc.
idk if this helps but I found some good info on the taxpayer advocate service website. they have guides for stuff like this and can sometimes help if you run into issues with the IRS
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is legit. They helped me resolve an issue last year when I couldn't get anywhere with the regular IRS channels.
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.
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?
lmao imagine thinking the irs would ever make anything easy for us 𤔠we're all just clowns in their circus

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
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.

Tax returns are like airplanes in a holding pattern - even the small ones sometimes get stuck circling for no apparent reason. Last year, my nephew filed a return with literally one W-2 for $3,200 in income, and it took 9 months to process. The issue? His former employer had filed his W-2 under an incorrect SSN, creating a mismatch that silently held everything up. No letters, no notifications, just silence. Once we figured it out and called the employer to submit a corrected W-2, the return processed within 10 days.

ā¢This happened to me too! Here's exactly what worked: 1. Called my employer first to verify the SSN they used 2. Requested a wage and income transcript from the IRS 3. Compared the W-2 I received with what the IRS had on file 4. Found the discrepancy (employer transposed two digits in my SSN) 5. Had employer submit a corrected W-2 6. Called IRS with reference numbers for both documents 7. Refund processed within 3 weeks The key is identifying the specific mismatch rather than just asking "where's my refund?

ā¢Wow, that airplane analogy is spot on! š I'm actually impressed by how many people here have tracked down such specific issues. I worked for the IRS for 12 years and even I wouldn't have immediately thought to check for transposed digits in the employer reporting. This is seriously better advice than what most people get when they actually reach an agent on the phone.

Be careful with your expectations. IRS is severely backlogged. Some returns from 2021 still unprocessed. No guarantees by year-end. Keep all documentation. Don't count on money arriving by specific date. Consider making alternate financial arrangements. Document all contact attempts. Request taxpayer advocate through Congressional office. Local offices sometimes accept cases even when national program is closed.
