IRS shows 2022 tax return as unprocessed but received twice - What to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed my 2022 return back in March and it's still showing as unprocessed. Called the IRS multiple times but can't get through. It's so frustrating!

I actually found a way 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/_kiP6q8DX5c

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check all the info on your return. Make sure there are no typos in your SSN, name, address, etc. 2. If everything looks correct, try to get through to the IRS (I know, easier said than done). 3. If you can't reach them by phone, send a written inquiry via certified mail. 4. Check if your state's Taxpayer Advocate Service can help. 5. If all else fails, you might need to file an amended return (Form 1040-X). Remember, the IRS is still dealing with backlogs from the pandemic, so patience is key. Good luck!

Have you considered that it might be identity theft? If the IRS received your return twice, someone else might have filed using your info. Might want to check your credit report just in case.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of IRS incompetence 🤡 been dealing with this nonsense for years

Just a heads up, the IRS recently announced they're still working through a backlog of 2022 returns. They said to expect delays, especially for paper returns. Might be worth checking if your return falls into any of the categories they mentioned as likely to be delayed.

Plot twist: what if the IRS is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels? 🐹🎡 Would explain a lot tbh
