IRS Refund Delays: 2022 State and 2023 Federal Still Missing - Help Needed

have u tried prayin to the tax gods? 🙏💸 maybe sacrifice a calculator to appease them

Pro tip: if you're expecting a large refund, consider adjusting your withholdings for next year. It's better to have the money throughout the year than to wait for a refund that may never come.

lol welcome to the club 🎉 been waiting on my refund since the stone age. Starting to think the IRS is just a bunch of sloths in suits 🦥👔

I've got a method that actually works 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.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The IRS and state tax agencies are like black holes where our money disappears. Have you tried using the "Where's My Refund?" tool on the IRS website? Sometimes it gives updates.

Have you considered that there might be an error on your return? Sometimes small mistakes can cause big delays. Might be worth double-checking everything.

Two years for a state refund?! That's insane. Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under these agencies.

Here's what you need to do to get this sorted: 1. Gather all your documents: tax returns, W-2s, any correspondence you've received. 2. Call the IRS early in the morning, right when they open. Less wait time. 3. Be polite but firm. Ask for a specific timeline and next steps. 4. Get a case number or reference ID for follow-up. 5. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor. 6. For the state refund, contact your state tax agency separately. 7. Consider reaching out to your local Taxpayer Advocate Service for help. Don't give up! Keep pushing until you get answers. Good luck!

Y'all ever think about how we're basically forced to do unpaid work (taxes) for the government, and then they have the audacity to make us wait for our own money back? 🤔 The system is rigged, man.

Plot twist: the government is using our refunds to fund their secret underground lizard people society 🦎👽

Has anyone else noticed that the "Where's My Refund?" tool is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine? 🚢🚪💦

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should just get rid of tax refunds altogether and adjust withholdings so we break even each year. No more waiting game.

guys. i figured it out. we need to hire nicolas cage to steal the declaration of independence. then we'll have leverage to get our refunds 🕵️‍♂️💰

I work in accounting, and sadly, this is becoming more common. The IRS is understaffed and overworked. Your best bet is to keep calling and documenting everything. If you can prove financial hardship, sometimes they'll expedite your case.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a flag on my account due to potential identity theft. Took forever to sort out. Might be worth asking if there's any specific hold on your refund.
