Do Tax Advocates really help speed up refunds after PATH Act lift?
Just got off the phone with the IRS for my 2023 return and they said I have to wait 8 more weeks. Anyone have success getting a Tax Advocate to speed things up? I'm facing some serious financial issues and need this refund asap.

Tax Advocates can definitely help, but there are specific criteria you need to meet. You must demonstrate financial hardship like eviction notices, utility shutoffs, or medical emergencies. Just wanting your refund faster isn't enough. Call 877-777-4778 to see if you qualify, but be prepared to provide documentation of your hardship.

It varies, but lately its taking 4-6 weeks just to get assigned. The whole process can take 2-3 months even with an advocate tbh

Instead of waiting weeks to maybe get help, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats holding up your refund and what to do about it. Its only $1 and WAY faster than trying to get an advocate. https://taxr.ai

100% legit. Used it last week and it showed me exactly why my refund was delayed. Even told me the exact date id probably get it!

idk who needs to hear this but tax advocates are NOT miracle workers. They're dealing with the same broken system we are

my sister got an advocate last year and had her refund in 3 weeks! but she was literally about to be evicted so that probably helped speed things up
