Has anyone tried using one of those identity protection services? wondering if its worth the money to prevent this kinda thing in the future
I use LifeLock. It's not perfect, but it gives me peace of mind. Caught a sketchy credit card application once.
Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main IRS line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along.
Have you tried using the IRS's online tools? They've improved a lot recently. Might save you some time and hassle.
Just remember, if you owe money, filing an extension doesn't give you more time to pay. Interest will still accrue. Ask me how I know... šø
Oof, that's rough buddy. How much did it end up costing you?
For real tho š I'm half expecting to turn into a giant bug at this point
Hey OP, have you considered hiring a professional to help with the amendments? Sometimes it's worth the money to avoid the headache.
I've thought about it, but wasn't sure if it was worth the cost. Might have to look into it if I can't make any progress soon.
It can be pricy, but if time is money, it might be worth it. Just make sure to do your research and find someone reputable.

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.

ā¢Thanks for the warning! I double-checked and it's definitely the legit IRS website and number. But good looking out! š

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

ā¢Bruh, have you seen how complicated the tax code is? Even CPAs mess up sometimes. Don't victim blame š

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