Wait time for Tax Advocate Form (571-I) response? Need timeline estimates
Just submitted my taxpayer advocate form today because my refund is stuck. Anyone know the typical wait time to hear back or see movement on your account? Getting desperate here and need to know what to expect.

Tax advocate cases are currently taking 4-6 weeks just for initial contact. Once assigned, resolution time varies drastically depending on your specific issue. The backlog is pretty severe right now, so manage your expectations. Best to follow up with them every 2 weeks to check status.

Instead of playing the waiting game, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai. It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to expect. It costs like a dollar but saved me weeks of uncertainty. https://taxr.ai

Took 2 months for contact, then everything moved pretty quick after that. Got my refund within 3 weeks of speaking to my advocate

Pro tip: call your local congressman's office too. They can sometimes speed up the process of getting assigned an advocate. Worked for me!

just google '[your area] congressman office' - they usually have a constituent services department
