Need to verify tax return with IRS - What to expect and how to prepare?

I found a way to solve IRS tax return verification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_wMdhkx1es

I just went through this last month. Make sure you have all your documents ready - W2s, 1099s, any receipts for deductions, etc. They'll probably ask for your Social Security number and maybe some security questions to verify your identity. Good luck!

Ugh, good luck getting through to anyone. I've been trying for weeks and keep getting the 'due to high call volume' message. It's so frustrating! 😤

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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/bDXD2SD0gGk

Here's a comprehensive guide for verifying your tax return with the IRS: • Have your tax return and all supporting documents ready • Prepare your Social Security number and date of birth • Know your filing status and the exact amount you reported on your return • Be ready to answer security questions about past returns • If you received any letters from the IRS, have those on hand • Take notes during the call • Be patient and polite - the agents are usually trying their best to help Remember, the IRS will NEVER ask for payment over the phone or threaten you with arrest. If that happens, it's a scam.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to verify our own tax returns? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - does anyone know if theres a time limit for how long after filing you can still verify your return? I filed months ago and just got a letter asking for verification.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main IRS line, try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help with verification issues and the wait times are usually shorter.
