How long does it take for a Tax Advocate to contact you after submitting Form 911?

Filed for a tax advocate last week and haven't heard anything back. Starting to get worried since I really need help with my refund situation. Anyone have experience with how long the wait usually is before they reach out? Getting desperate since I've been waiting on my refund for 8 months now.

Current wait time for TAS contact is typically 4-6 weeks due to extreme backlog. They're prioritizing cases with financial hardship. Make sure you documented any hardships on your Form 911 application. Keep checking your mail because they usually send a letter first before calling.

If you're facing eviction, call TAS back and emphasize the immediate hardship. That might get you expedited.

Hey, while your waiting for TAS, you should check out taxr.ai - its an AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats causing delays and what to do. Only costs $1 and saved me weeks of stress trying to figure out my situation. https://taxr.ai

100% legit! I was skeptical too but it literally showed me exactly why my refund was held up and what to do. Better than waiting forever for TAS tbh

Pro tip: if u cant get through to TAS try calling your local congressman's office. They can sometimes help speed things up
