IRS sent non-filing letter despite filing taxes on time - Help!

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic! This happens more often than you'd think. 2. Gather all your documents - your tax return copy, any confirmation emails, etc. 3. Call the IRS (I know, I know, it's a pain) 4. Explain the situation calmly and ask them to verify if they received your return 5. If they can't find it, you might need to resend it 6. Keep records of all your calls and correspondence Hang in there, it'll get sorted out!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of IRS incompetence 🤡 they probably lost your return in their giant pile of paperwork

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Have you checked your transcript online? Sometimes it shows info that's not on your account page.

this happened to me last year. turns out my return got flagged for identity verification. check if you have any notices about that in your account

The IRS is such a joke. They can take our money no problem, but when it comes to processing returns, suddenly they're all thumbs 🙄

Did you file electronically or by mail? If you mailed it, there's a chance it got lost. Either way, you should be able to get this straightened out. Just be patient and persistent!

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main IRS line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. theyre usually easier to reach and can help with stuff like this

Ugh, bureaucracy at its finest 🤦‍♂️ Good luck navigating this mess, OP. May the odds be ever in your favor!
