Just a heads up, the IRS recently updated some guidelines for Form 941. Make sure you're using the latest version of the form and instructions!

OP, if you're still struggling, don't forget that local Small Business Development Centers often offer free or low-cost tax help. Might be worth checking out if there's one near you.

Has anyone tried contacting their local Taxpayer Advocate Service? They can sometimes help if you're facing financial hardship due to refund delays.

Plot twist: the IRS is using our refunds to fund a secret space program 👽🛸

have u tried turning the irs off and on again?

Serious question: has anyone successfully sued the IRS for delays like this? Seems like there should be some kind of accountability.

I heard a rumor that they're super backed up because of covid still. Apparently they lost a bunch of staff and haven't been able to replace them. Not sure if its true, but might explain the delays.

Pro tip: if you're really desperate, try reaching out to your state assembly member or senator. Their offices sometimes have connections and can help speed things up. Worked for me when I was in a similar boat last year.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of IRS bureaucracy. grab a snack and get comfy, you might be here a while 😂

Guys, I found a method to get someone on the phone fast. 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 the link: https://www.claimyr.com

anyone else think its wild that we gotta prove who we are to the same ppl who take our money every year? like, don't yall know me already? 🤡

I heard they're understaffed due to budget cuts. Not an excuse, but might explain the long wait times. Anyone know if they're hiring? Maybe we should all apply and fix it from the inside lol

Here's what you need to do: 1. Try updating your address online first at irs.gov/myaccount 2. If that doesn't work, you'll need to call 1-800-829-1040 3. Have your social security number, old address, and new address ready 4. Be prepared to verify your identity 5. Ask them to confirm when the change will take effect 6. If your refund has already been sent, ask about the process for getting it reissued Remember, patience is key. The IRS is dealing with a huge backlog, so everything is taking longer than usual. Good luck!

Have you tried sending a carrier pigeon with your updated address? Might be faster than dealing with the IRS 🕊️😂

Not sure if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out my ex-spouse's debt was affecting my refund. Might be worth checking if there's any joint liability you're not aware of.

Have you tried contacting your local congressperson's office? Sometimes they can help expedite IRS issues.

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local congressperson's office? I've heard they can sometimes help with IRS issues.

lol why even bother calling? the irs is a joke anyway. taxation is theft 🤡

Have you checked if there were any recent changes to tax withholding or benefit deductions? Sometimes those can catch you off guard and make your check look different.

Whatever you do, don't just let it slide. I made that mistake once and it took forever to get backpay. Speak up asap!
