Help deciphering partial employer names on 2020 IRS tax transcript

Ugh, I've been there. The IRS and their cryptic documents, amirite? 🙄 Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes they can clarify things over the phone.

I found a way to get someone on the phone. 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

Have you checked your W-2 forms from 2020? They should have the full employer names and wage info. Might be easier than deciphering the transcript.

This happened to me last year. I ended up cross-referencing the partial names with my bank statements from 2020. It took some detective work, but I figured it out eventually. Good luck!

The IRS system is such a joke. In 2023, and we're still dealing with partial names on official documents? Get it together, Uncle Sam! 🤡

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Check your email for any correspondence from those employers in 2020. You might find full company names there. 2. Look at your resume or LinkedIn. If you listed these jobs, you probably have the full names. 3. Google the partial names along with your city/state. You might get lucky and find the full names. 4. If all else fails, you can request a wage and income transcript from the IRS. It's more detailed than the regular transcript and usually has full employer names. Hope this helps! Let us know if you figure it out.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of taxes where nothing makes sense and everything is a headache 🤪
