Have you considered that it might be a glitch in the matrix? Maybe we're all just living in a simulation run by the IRS ๐ค๐ฝ
LOL if thats true, can we get a patch to fix these bugs? Tax season is basically just one big glitch ๐คฃ

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/bDXD2SD0gGk
Idk man, paying to talk to the IRS? Seems sketchy.

I get the skepticism, but for me, it was worth it to not waste a whole day on hold. Time is money, you know?

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the IRS gods? I hear that speeds up the process ๐๐ฎ
LOL I'm dead ๐ But for real, dealing with the IRS does feel like some ancient ritual sometimes

Friendly reminder to everyone: always keep your address updated with the IRS. You'd be surprised how many people forget this and wonder why they're not getting their mail!
Okay, hear me out. What if you just... don't do anything? Like, let it ride and see if they notice. Worst case, you're exactly where you are now. Best case, free time machine for your taxes ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ฐ
Bruh ๐ that's how you end up owing penalties and interest. Don't play games with the IRS
3M
lol yeah you're probably right. just wishful thinking i guess ๐

This happened to me last year! I sent a letter explaining the mistake and they fixed it... but it took like 4 months ๐ If you need it done faster, definitely call
This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my address update didn't go through properly. Keep pushing and don't give up!
Oh no, that's exactly what I'm afraid of. How did you eventually resolve it?
3M
It took a few calls and a lot of patience, but I finally got through to someone who could help. Just keep at it!

have u tried sending a carrier pigeon to the IRS? might be faster than their current system ๐ฆ๐จ
LMAO ๐คฃ Maybe we should all switch to smoke signals
3M
Careful, they might start taxing pigeons too! ๐ธ

Whatever you do, DON'T ignore this. I made that mistake once and ended up owing way more in penalties. Deal with it asap!
Yikes, thanks for the warning. I'll definitely take care of it right away.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main IRS line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help with issues like this and the wait times are usually shorter.
This! ๐ The Taxpayer Advocate Service is a lifesaver. They helped me resolve a similar issue last year.

This is why I always use a CPA for my taxes. Worth every penny to avoid headaches like this.
Agreed! My CPA has saved me so much money and stress over the years.
3M
Not everyone can afford a CPA tho. The system is rigged against regular folks ๐ค

I'm in the same boat, OP. The IRS is a mess right now with all the covid relief stuff and backlog. Hang in there!
I filed through TurboTax and they have a refund tracker. Has anyone found this to be more accurate than the IRS site?
In my experience, it's about the same. They're probably just pulling data from the IRS anyway.

Plot twist: the IRS is secretly using our refunds to fund a mission to Mars. That's why it's taking so long. ๐ฝ๐
Lmao, I'd almost prefer that to the reality of bureaucratic incompetence ๐

Elon Musk, is that you? ๐ค

This is why I always tell people to keep EVERY piece of mail from the IRS, even if you think it's not important. You never know when you might need it to prove something later.
idk man, sounds like you struck out with the IRS lottery. Time to lawyer up and go to bat for yourself. Don't let them steamroll you!
Seconded. A good tax attorney can work wonders in situations like this.

Not sure if this helps, but I remember reading somewhere that if you filed as an S Corp on your taxes, the IRS kinda assumes you meant to file those forms even if you didn't. Might be worth looking into?
That's interesting. Do you have a source for that info? Could be really helpful for OP.
3M
Oof, I don't remember exactly where I saw it. Might've been on a tax forum or something. Take it with a grain of salt, I guess?
3M
lol welcome to the wonderful world of business ownership. where the rules are made up and the forms don't matter ๐คก
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ ain't that the truth

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for a letter for months now. Starting to think carrier pigeons would be more reliable than the IRS at this point ๐

PSA: If anyone else is dealing with this issue, make sure you're not falling for any scams. The IRS will never ask for personal info via email or text. Always verify through official channels!
