Just a heads up, if you're expecting any other gov't mail (like stimulus checks or whatever), make sure to update your address with USPS too. They have a mail forwarding service that's pretty reliable.

Anyone else think its crazy that in 2023 we still have to deal with paper checks? Like, direct deposit exists for a reason, people!

Quick question - how long have you had this installment agreement? There might be some rules about when they can increase payments that could help your case.

Hot take: maybe just let it double and pay it off faster? 🤔 Less interest in the long run

Plot twist: what if your sibling got the money and is just playin you? 🕵️‍♂️💰

This whole stimulus situation is a dumpster fire. I've been trying to sort out my parents' payments for months. The system is broken af.

PSA: Be careful with ID.me. I've heard some privacy concerns about how they store and use your data. Might be worth looking into before you use their service.

Anyone else find it ironic that we have to jump through all these hoops to prove who we are to the same government that's been tracking us since birth? 😂

This is why I always say to keep a close eye on your agreements and statements. The IRS makes mistakes more often than people think. Good catch on your part!

oof, sounds like youre in for a fun time with the IRS 🙃 may the odds be ever in your favor

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should just be grateful the IRS exists at all? I mean, imagine if we had to organize all this ourselves. It's a huge system dealing with millions of returns. Cut them some slack, y'all.

I heard theres a glitch in the IRS system this year thats causing delays for ppl who filed in April. Might explain why ur stuck. Keep pestering them!

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

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Try different times of day. Early morning and late afternoon seem to have shorter wait times. 3. Have all your documents ready before you call. They'll ask for a ton of info. 4. Be polite to the agent when you finally get one. They're probably as frustrated as we are. 5. If all else fails, consider using a paid service or contacting your congressperson. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this togethe.r

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic info about our own tax stuff? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - how long ago did you get your EIN? If it's recent, sometimes it takes a while to fully process in their system.

am i the only 1 who thinks its messed up that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get OUR OWN MONEY back??

Pro tip: If you're expecting a refund next year, adjust your withholdings now so you don't give the government an interest-free loan. #TaxHack

I've been in the same boat, OP. It took 3 months for my return to be processed last year. The waiting game is tough, but try not to stress too much. As long as you filed on time, you won't be penalized for their delays.

Pro tip: If you're expecting a refund next year, adjust your withholdings now so you get more money throughout the year instead of waiting for a big refund. Can't delay what they don't owe you! *taps head*
