Anyone else think its crazy that in 2023 we still cant get a simple update on our taxes? Like, the govermint can track every penny I make but cant tell me wheres my refund? Make it make sense 🤦‍♂️

PSA: If you're experiencing a financial hardship due to the delay, make sure to mention that when you call. It can sometimes get your case expedited.

Pro tip: Keep detailed records of all your communications with the IRS. Dates, times, agent names if possible. It might come in handy if you need to escalate your case later.

Anyone else worried about the recent news of increased audits for ERC claims? Makes me nervous about my application...

Hey OP, have you considered reaching out to your local congressperson's office? Sometimes they can help expedite IRS issues. Worth a shot if you're really stuck.

Lol, I've been in the same boat. Spent 3 hours on hold yesterday only to get disconnected. FML 😭

guys this is why you should always adjust your withholdings so you don't get a big refund. Use that money throughout the year instead of giving the govt an interest-free loan!

Anyone else worried about identity theft? I've heard horror stories about refunds being stolen...

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes that gets faster results.

Just a heads up, I heard they're changing the refund process next month. Might want to get your requests in before then if you can.

Quick question - did the notice give you a deadline to respond by? Sometimes they do, and it's important not to miss it.

Here's a comprehensive guide to dealing with the IRS phone system: • Best times to call: Early morning (8 AM-10 AM) or late afternoon (4 PM-7 PM) • Avoid Mondays and tax season (February-April) if possible • Have all your documents ready before calling • Be polite but persistent with the automated system • If disconnected, keep trying – it often takes multiple attempts • Consider using a call-back service if you're really struggling • Remember, IRS agents are humans too – being nice can go a long way Hope this helps someone out there in tax hell! 💯

Hey OP, what exactly does the notice say? Sometimes they're just informational and don't require any action.

I've been dealing with an IRS issue for months now. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every penny. Trust me, it'll save your butt if things get messy.

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to verify our own identity? The system is broken af 😤

Hey OP, any luck getting through yet? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
