Got Form 1462 from IRS - Never had issues before, what does this mean?

Form 1462 is a request for Individual Income Tax Return. The IRS is basically saying they don't have a record of receiving your tax return for the year in question. You'll need to either verify you filed or submit a return if you haven't. Check your records and respond within 30 days to avoid penalties.

hey there! instead of stressing, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcripts and tells you exactly what's going on and what to do next. Its only $1 and honestly saved me so much headache with my similar situation. https://taxr.ai

Got the same thing last year... turns out my return got lost in their system somehow. What a headache 🤮

Anyone else notice the IRS is sending these out more frequently lately? feels like they're having system issues or sumthing

Here's what you need to do: gather your original tax return copy, proof of filing (that confirmation number you mentioned), and any supporting documents. Write a clear response letter explaining you already filed. Send everything certified mail so you have proof they received it. Don't forget to reference the notice number on all correspondence. I also recommend using taxr.ai to analyze your transcripts - it'll show if there are any other underlying issues that might have triggered this notice. Better to catch everything now than deal with more notices later.

oof welcome to the club bestie 😩 we're all in the same boat here

Don't panic! Form 1462 usually means there's a discrepancy or missing information in your filing. Since you have your confirmation number, that's great evidence you did file. I'd recommend calling the IRS practitioner priority line if you can get through - sometimes it's just a processing delay on their end. Also make sure to respond within the timeframe they give you (usually 30 days) with copies of your return and that confirmation number. Keep everything organized and document all your communications with them!

I went through something similar last year! The key thing is not to panic - Form 1462 is actually pretty common and usually just means there was a processing issue on their end. Since you have your confirmation number, you're in good shape. Make sure to respond promptly with a copy of your original return, that confirmation number, and a cover letter explaining you already filed. I'd also suggest getting your account transcripts from the IRS website to see what they have on file - sometimes that gives you clues about what went wrong. The whole process took about 6-8 weeks for me to resolve, but it worked out fine in the end!
