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!
Thanks for the encouragement! It's good to know I'm not alone in this struggle.
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 🙃
It worked for me! Took about 20 minutes but way better than being on hold forever.

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.
What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!
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?
Check your mail carefully. They usually send notices if there's a problem. Also, check your online account on the IRS website for any messages.

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.

Preach! 🙌 The whole system is rigged against us

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 😫

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.

•Thanks for the heads up! I'll double-check to make sure it's genuine.
