IRS Return Processing Delay: No Refund Date After Verification Letter Request - Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for months to get my return processed. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling the IRS directly? Sometimes you can get more info that way.

I found a method 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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/bDXD2SD0gGk

Have you checked your tax transcript online? Sometimes that can give you more info about whats going on with your return.

I've been in the same boat. Here's what worked for me: 1. Check your tax transcript online (as someone else mentioned) 2. Make sure you didn't receive any notices in the mail that you missed 3. If you can get through on the phone, ask specifically about any holds or reviews on your account 4. Be patient (I know it sucks) - sometimes it just takes time Hang in there! The IRS is seriously backlogged, so a lot of us are dealing with delays.

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 6 months for my refund. irs is a joke 🤡

Have you considered reaching out to your local Taxpayer Advocate Service? They can sometimes help if you're experiencing financial hardship due to the delay.

Guys, I heard theres a secret phone number that gets you straight to an agent. Anyone know what it is?

PSA: Make sure you're checking the IRS2Go app for updates too. Sometimes it updates before the website.

OP, did you file electronically or by paper? Paper returns are taking FOREVER to process right now.
