Schedule H Form 7202 COVID Sick Leave Credit Under Review - 2hr Hold for Nothing
Finally got through to IRS after 2 hours on hold about my Schedule H Covid sick leave credit (Form 7202). The agent just said its under review and I have to wait. No other info given. Is there another number or department I can talk to? Getting desperate for answers.

Tax pro here - Form 7202 claims are getting extra scrutiny due to widespread fraud. Unfortunately, the review process can take 6-8 months. The IRS is seriously backed up with these. Best thing to do is keep checking your transcript for updates.

8 months?! 😠This is ridiculous. Do you know if calling my local IRS office would help?

Local offices cant help with this unfortunately. Its handled by a specialized team.

Hey everyone dealing with Form 7202 issues - I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually helped me understand exactly what was happening with my review. It costs $1 but totally worth it. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where you are in the process and estimated timeframe. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Try calling right when they open at 7am EST. Sometimes you get the good agents then who actually help instead of reading a script 👀

Taxpayer Advocate Service might be able to help if its causing financial hardship. But they usually only take cases after 6+ months of waiting

Call 877-777-4778 but heads up they are just as backed up as regular IRS 🤡
