Filed my 2022 taxes back in February. I'm sick of this crap. Called IRS 15 times over months and only got through twice - both times they just said to wait. Tax advocate never calls back. ID verify done in March. Account transcript says 'still being processed' with no codes. Anyone else stuck in this endless loop? Starting to think my refund money got lost in the void.
Filed my 2021 taxes on March 6th and still waiting on federal (got state already). WMR shows received and processing but transcript says no record of return. Getting different messages between systems and no updates happening. How do I even know if im a daily or weekly updater when theres no info showing up?
Unfortunately with prior year returns your basically gonna have to wait it out. The IRS is so backed up its not even funny. My 2020 return took 14 months to process no joke
Filed my taxes on Feb 7th and they still havent processed them. Just logged in and saw a garnishment notice even tho my refund would cover what I owe them! How can they garnish wages when they haven't even processed my return that would clear the balance? This makes no sense!
in the same boat rn... filed Jan 31st and nothing but crickets from them but they sure quick with those garnishment notices smh
The IRS systems are completely broken rn. Their collections department operates independently from returns processing. You gotta be proactive - call them, get TAS involved, whatever it takes to protect yourself while they sort out their mess.
I've been waiting since February for my refund and I'm in a really confusing situation with my tax person. They just messaged me saying I need to file an amended return. This morning, I got a text from them that reads: "You can speak to your clients & decide what y'all wanna do. You can either amend the files & take the sauce off or keep waiting. Either way it's gone be a delay. We had over 5 files this week pay out from February, so it's difficult to say which files to redo & which ones to sit on. But you can make that call & if so just submit back in for review after you make the changes. Amended files to less than 5 minutes to do." I texted back asking "So was it rejected? Where I have to go back and file it" They responded: "Not rejected. Go to H&R Block and ask them to do an amended return. The irs will reject your return if you file with me." Later they messaged: "I just got an update from one of our advisors. I would advise you to do an amended return. You can wait if you choose but nothing sounds guaranteed anymore." I'm really confused by all this. My tax person said amended files take "less than 5 minutes to do" but they're being kind of vague about whether I absolutely need to do this. They keep telling me to go to H&R Block, but then also say my return hasn't technically been rejected yet. I previously faxed some information to them (I think to the IRS?) - I texted "Not sure. I faxed the info them" at some point in our conversation. I'm also totally confused about what this "sauce" thing is they keep mentioning or why it needs to be removed. It seems like they've had over 5 clients from February finally get their refunds this week, so there's some movement happening, but now they're telling me "nothing sounds guaranteed anymore." Should I just keep waiting it out or actually do the amendment? And why do I need to go to H&R Block specifically? Really confused about what to do here.
I haven't received my W-2 from my employer and I made around $7,000 last year. I've sent multiple emails to HR and left tons of voicemails but nobody is responding. Can I just file next year or do I need to keep waiting? Getting really frustrated with this situation.
