IRS Tax Penalty Affecting Refund - When Will I Get My Money Back?

I found a way to solve IRS tax penalty refund delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeBJjRO-HZQ

Ugh, been there done that. The IRS can be such a pain to deal with. Have you tried calling them directly? It might take forever to get through, but it's probably your best bet for getting specific info about your case.

I found a way to actually 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/Jc9x-gysK0

Here's what you need to know about tax penalties and refunds: • First, identify the specific penalty. Common ones include failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, or underpayment penalties. • The penalty amount is usually deducted from your refund automatically. • Refund timelines vary, but with penalties, it can take longer due to additional processing. • You can request a penalty abatement if you have a reasonable cause. • Always ask for a detailed breakdown of the penalty and how it affects your refund amount. When you talk to an agent, ask: 1. What specific penalty was applied? 2. Can you explain how this penalty affected my refund amount? 3. What's the current status of my refund? 4. Are there any steps I can take to expedite the process? 5. Am I eligible for a penalty abatement? Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

have you tried checking the where's my refund tool on the irs website? sometimes it has updates even when you cant get thru on the phone

The IRS is such a joke. They take our money no problem but when it comes to giving refunds, suddenly everything moves at a snail's pace. 🐌💸

I had a similar issue last year. Turned out I had made a mistake on my return that triggered the penalty. Double-check your forms if you haven't already!

anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to do their taxes? 🤯 this system is wack

Have you considered hiring a tax professional? They might be able to help you navigate this and potentially get the penalty removed.

just gonna leave this here: taxation is theft 🤷‍♂️
