Filed 2/16, No Updates & Missing IRS Letter - What's Going On?
I filed my return on February 16th and still no progress. Called the IRS monday and they said they mailed me a letter the week after I filed but I never got anything in my mailbox! Anyone else dealing with missing IRS letters? Getting really frustrated with this whole situation.

This is actually pretty common right now. The IRS sends verification letters (4883C or 5071C) when they need to verify identity or income. First, check your current address on file with IRS matches where you live. Second, you can try requesting a transcript online - it might show what letter they sent. If you can't access transcripts, call the ID verify line at 800-830-5084.

Hey, I've been helping people with transcript analysis for a while now. Instead of playing detective, you should check out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and what to do next. Only costs a buck but saves hours of headache. https://taxr.ai

•Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true. How exactly does it work?

•100% legit. You upload your transcript and their AI breaks down every code and tells you what's actually happening. It even predicts your refund date based on your specific situation.
