i think it’s best
Number does not work at that extension,
I have used this number and the 652 extension before and it worked. Now it’s sending me to the amended returns line instead?
I just tried calling myself and saying the call volume is high. It’s been over 3 weeks for me and the website is still saying a date will be available as soon as possible. This is crazy. I did my mom taxes on February 14 and she already has her back. I need my money to move out of a bad neighborhood.

Hey, so my WMR had one bar on the 11th saying received now there are no bars and it’s saying that it’s still being processed, I’m with Varo and claim the extra income for the kids
I sure hope this works i’ve been trying for 3 weeks to talk to someone to fix / help me understand something that I’m getting charged LATE fees for!!!!
If not how do I ask a question here?
ThanksUpdate: NOPE same thing as EVERY other possible option – due to high volume unable to take the call *click*

Thanksdo you guys think the irs will post something for people to change their direct deposit info again? mines changed since the last stimulus.
Has anyone had any success speaking to the IRS via phone?
Has anyone been able to speak to an employee at the IRS recently, like after they changed their answering to service to say they are “unable to provide live assistance”? I’ll call & wait, but I’d rather not be stuck in a hold loop that eventually disconnects. TIA!

good info
Return accepted feb 3rd received 60 day review march 16 still waiting cant talk to anybody received stimulus already gone. All my coworkers received review did our employer do something wrong I never had a problem before
I called every number listed for the irs today and still there is no one there to answer. So is are government full of sh*t or what? Like man they take away refunds which for me is around $10k to give out stimulus checks of $2.2k like it just seems like they playing at this point.
I want my money.
Hopefully they will now start answering the phone!!! They have been told to return to work on Monday: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2020/04/irs-tells-initial-wave-of-10k-employees-to-return-to-office-monday-bring-own-ppe/
I need to talk to someone about my refund. I been waiting since February and still no answer or letter. I’m out of work because of the covid19. And bills are still coming regardless of this damn covid19. I need to know what’s going on with my money ASAP. They need to have SOMEONE working in the office or by phone at IRS to answer our questions about our refund. This shit is crazy. I need help NOW…
No dice. Never asks for extension. Hangs up mid message. On 4th try.
I mailed in my Injured Spouse form 8 weeks ago. I have heard NOTHING. I am eligible for all money. My hubby had an old college bill unpaid. The IRS website has not changed my info at all.

Received a letter from the IRS stating they wanted me to verify my identity. Made several phone calls. No answer because no one is in the office at this time because of the COVID-19.If they don’t get my identity verified they said in the letter I may not get my income tax refund. So whats going to happen now? Am I or am I not, going to get my income tax refund. Not my fault.
I have tried to file my taxes and hand r block has also but it’s saying someone claimed me as a dependent or used my SSN. Please is there anyway I can get this figured out so I can file my taxes for 2018 2019 and receive my stemoulis pack. I’ve been trying for days and i didn’t give my permission for my taxes to be filed by anyone and for some reason no one knows anything about this situation or can helpe . Thanks in advance
Deleted for 45 day review March 9th. Found out prior to that date thanks to this group and advocate. Had to amend, also done prior to March 9th…. Still no word. No update. UGH
I filed 2/10, accepted 2/10. Code 570 on transcript. No updates. No letter. No movement. No solution. I Feel like this is just a lost cause at this point. I’m so tired of looking everyday to only be let down. It really sucks that they can do this to us and we can’t do anything about it but wait on them. It’s bull. Sorry to everyone going through this. Do your best to stay positive.
also i have not received any mail about why it is still processing this is ridiculous, i undertand about the coronovirus but come on now somebody has got to be handling things at the irs.
well it’s april first still says stil processing i have been trying to find out since my return was accepted when i will get my refund and why it is taking so long i e filed on feb 4th, first time i called lady said she didn’t understand why i was having to wait nothing on my account why it is not processed. well now of course i can’t talk to anybody, if anybody knows a way i can actually speak to someone, it’s important i need my refund. thanks for reading and stay safe.
IRS not taking any people to people calls
3-31-20I filed 2016 and 2017 prior year tax return and am owed a refund for both . How will I know if I’m approved and will I receive both at one time .
Do I qualify for the coronavirus stimulus check
I filed my state taxes in the middle of February and it says my paperwork was recieved and is under further review.I am trying to find out what is going on,further review for what reason.
I been waitn aince feb3 and i got 60 teview letter saying dont do anything and i talk to someone telling me not to do anything so what am i waitn for now
Filed 2/4 and was accepted then later bar disappeared, then called IRS LINE and rep said I will get a letter mailed 3/16 , all my co workers were “RANDOMLY CHOSEN”…DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING
The code worked for me. I waited 15 minutes. I spoke to someone who was quite nice. But nonetheless, still irritated that they are still saying 9 weeks after ID verify.
The extension says unable to handle my call at this time. Ughh
This doesn’t work this year. It says the code isn’t valid.
Seems like it’s a certainDate that this is happening to ppl I haven’t got mines yet or no updates at all has anybody got there that’s was under review and if so how long did anything befor you were notice like did you get a refund after you got the letter or before cause this not making sense only thing change is I made more money than last year did anybody do prepaid cards to like Netspend
Do all reviews. Start from 3/16? Does anyone know anything about being in review status
Irs saidvim in review does anyone know what date it starts from? Isvit day accepted or something diff?
Filed 1/28 accepted2/2 say my 60 days start on 3/16 haven’t received my letter yet any update for anybody in my situation same dates or anything don’t know if anybody under review has receive there’s would like to know what day you file and your review started
I called IRS this morning. I filed on 2/8/2020- accepted on 2/10/2020 The rep said return shows system error and is in suspense status for 13 more days. After this I should have an update. Rep said no letter or anything on my part that I need to do. Said that hopefully it will fix itself. This is beyond ridiculous. NEVER in my life have I had this happen. Good luck to everyone !
Has anyone gotten any news???
Spoke to someone said letter was sent out dated 2/19(haven’t received yet) for missing info. Don’t understand why, received state about 3 weeks ago just waiting on federal refund still
im facing the same thing. with my situation; there is a possibility that the employer may have only filed state and not federal.
I requested a tax advocate two weeks ago, I had one phone call with the advocate assigned. He asked to give him until the end of the week to follow up with some. sort of answer and he would be in touch later in the week. I have left a few messages requesting an update, no response. Transcripts are still N/A , No letter or error codes provided. Should I push this issue to a supervisor or wait for a response from advocate?
Filed TT on 02/03/2020
IRS Accepted 02/04/2020got right through ..got the 45 day review script but no notice has been sent. I guess I was just supposed to know that I was under a review. My review will be over 45 days from March 23rd. I filed on 2/17 and accepted same day. Had being processed until 3/7 then bars disappeared and I got still processing on 3/7. I have both EITC AND CTC and College Credit.
Thank you!!! I waited maybe 10 minutes and the lady was super nice and helpful.
I called and they hung up on me.

I was strangely told that transcripts show no information…I’m not confident in the representative I spoke with. Very script like conversation sadly.
@Zee that’s all we can do at this point. We must pray and trust God.
I called this morning and so so information. I was told it is okay to amend your return while under review if W2s or whatever is missing. I was told a third party had been contacted to verify wages. I was told I cant get a tax advocate until 4 weeks from when the 4464C letter was sent. Then told 16weeks wait time for amendments….I’m pregnant with Lupus. I’m trusting in the Most High.
@annoyed I talked to them as well. WTF how you gone randomly select ME when I’ve been filing the same EVERY YEAR and tell me that I won’t see my refund until April 20th when I filed January 29th! I asked did they need my w2s like wtf yall reviewing if everything correct 😬
I called and followed this but it said they couldn’t take my call at the extension due to high volume 🤬
Thanks for this called got right through. Spoke to a representative who had no clue as to what she was talking about, was pretty much reading a script and mentioned verification of tax credits and and can take up to 60 days. I’m not buying that BS. I will wait till Friday to see if I will get an update. I’m under 60 day review as well. Received a letter on 2/14.
Works! Called and I’m under review. 😭
This totally works. Called yesterday and waited less than 10 min to talk to a rep. You might need to try it a few times before it actually works though!
Thank you I got a date and only waited for 15 mins
Was told to call back by March 2nd if I don’t have a update so I know one thing H&r block better put that fee they charge up to good use
Wmr says processing called and was told under review no reason nothing so I’m kinda pissee
I got through and got the “under review” script. I’ve never been selected for review in the past 8 years. It takes 60 days to be completed so I’m not even checking anymore
Just keep trying guys. I’m on hold and it just told me my wait time is between 10 and 15 minutes. I’ve been calling since 7am PST.
This isn’t working for me. Called about 10 times now
now this number says….due to technical difficulties your call cannot go through…UGH!
@Lorie keep trying. It’s was doing the same thing to me. I just got off the phone with them. It’s definitely fast. And I found out what’s holding my return up
these instructions don’t work it keeps saying too high call volume and hangs up[=
Said anyone with Path with a direct deposit or card will not be released until the 27th by Congress Law
Thanks for this.
This is the best way to contact someone!! I was only in hold 3 minutes than ACTUALLY given the info I was asking for 😊

Said anyone with Path with a direct deposit or card will not be released until the 27th by Congress Law
Thanks this number worked! No hold time!!
Wow! this number actually works. I was able to get right through. However, I don’t think she pulled up my information and every question I asked was I don’t know. Then she proceeded with asking me why am I calling her with questions and I need to wait for my documents because they normally don’t do answer questions pertaining to tax refunds.
Thank you!
I got right through this morning :)Did you get your questions answered? Like a date?
Use this number. I called at 638pm. Was only on hold 4 minutes
Thanks cause my nerves getting bad.. It’s my money and I need it Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——
