If they turn off your lights and you get the virus your utility company will be doing what the government is discouraging and that is aiding to spread the virus around. I don’t think nobody’s lights are going down in a state of a public health national emergency.
Why are my posts waiting moderation? I’m done with this site filtering speech.
What if somebody went out of town and the IRS mailed their refund? Isn’t the mail one of the ways crooks steal checks? Seems like all that Path Act wait for some people went on for nothing if the IRS is going to make the check accessible to potential crooks. I think something is going on with their payment system and that’s why people aren’t getting their money on time or people are getting surprise mailings of refunds.
We want to encourage the IRS to send delayed refunds in an expedited way, but we want notification about it on WMR or via email. I think most people have their email address or phone number on their w2. There’s no reason why the IRS can’t notify taxpayers in the fastest convenient way.
Was it sent in the mail or by direct deposit? How did you originally ask to be paid? I would find out why they chose to pay different from what was authorized and let others know the reason expressed.
This just reminds me of throwing a fake toss to have someone looking in the opposite direction, while in the other direction the real truth is going on. If they sent the money it should show up. What they didn’t expect was for all these people to come together and compare stories.
Think about it when was the last time you seen an electronic transfer take this long? The bank should see them at least. I would report it because you don’t know if it could be some fraud going on behind the scenes. TIGTA can at least look into it. You can file a complaint on their website or over the phone with a special agent. They will give you a case number.
I would report a pattern of misrepresented deposit dates to the Treasury Inspector General For Tax Administration https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report.shtml this might be a matter of fraud, waste, mismanagement, and abuse in the IRS programs and operations. Other people are reporting inconsistency with how payments were agreed to be sent and how they got sent without notice.
@Kelis We have to be our own community advocate and get things done. Plus that one sided rule about charging taxpayers penalties and interest on taxes for late filing, but having the nerve to delay processing taxes causing people hardships needs to be reformed. This is an investigative committee. Voice up
When you try to voice your concerns to representatives they have the nerve to become rude dismissive and hang up in your face, so why not talk to the agency that regulates them in the first place. Hopefully all of this unprofessional service will change. I have read all kinds of terrible experiences on the internet.
I mean its so much to voice from Where’s My Refund not updating, failure with Path Act delaying taxes over 21days, early filers targeted, delays in processing refunds without Path Act, failure to provide timely notices by choosing snail mail instead of providing updates on Where’s My Refund, Providing deposit dates that fail to post on scheduled date, causing negative fee to bank accounts due to prepares fees coming out because refunds have extended past their deadlines, mailing the same person 17 letters while other people’s taxes are delayed but no notice received,
Hey Congress especially the Ways and Means Committee is requesting the IRS provide its ability to provide service during this pandemic. Now if they can’t even process taxes on time what is going to happen if they get impacted by Corona. If you want to let the committee know what’s really going on Phone:(202) 225-3625
Fax: (202) 225-5680If they don’t want to put more tax information on the WMR site, due to privacy then they need to allow tax payers to set up a pin to access their account. So you login as normal, but to see additional updates you put your pin in and this will stop them from sending unexpected letters that can get lost in the mail. Some people ordered transcripts and if you gave them any account information where your money is kept that becomes an account they can levy later if you owe them.
Accounts on WMR should cycle back into a required manually input update when it hasn’t changed to reflect new information. Accounts saying processing and still processing for 6weeks is not updates in a timely manner.
Exactly what I’m talking about. They need to pay penalties, interest and late fees by the day to encourage them to process returns in a timely manner.
What do you consider a hardship, because hardship should be defined as being deprived of the normal basic necessities? The nerve of tax advocates telling people to go to charities and a church pantry for food when the IRS is holding up your money. I think they mainly consider evictions and utility disconnections and that’s why they will tell people to go to other places for those necessities. It’s one thing to discriminate against what’s considered, but another thing to have no real results or action plan to stop hardships.
What do you guys think about making the IRS pay penalties and fees as a form of restitution to impacted tax payers for not expediting the processing time for hardship cases? I think the pay now review later rule should apply, because they are the IRS and will still be able to get their money if the money doesn’t come out right in the end. The pay now review later helps to relieve tax payers of their hardship. So they should immediately release funds under a hardship criteria.
We have to get rid of the 5 day wait just to get an advocate. The ability to apply for an advocate should be online and via phone. I don’t like the gate process of having to go through the red tape just to get a transfer code in order to speak to someone just to get a referral. Too much time expires which subjects the person to the hardships that they are trying to avoid.
I honestly believe that people impacted by the IRS should contact Congress, because the more people start raising the issue the more Congress will seek to make changes. I mean can you imagine if this happened next year. Who can say what their situation will be next year and we all need to be able to depend on the ability to expedite hardship cases. Why can’t they take a faxed 1040x as well, to expedite the processing time. It seems like a lack of consideration for hardships.
ValerieOK don’t trust that, because in the time waiting to get a tax advocate I was coming closer to having a disconnection and I had it faxed before the advocate called. The advocate called on the day that the disconnection was set to happen and told me straight up they couldn’t do anything about it.
Thanks DeeDeeLTL
You know other people have said that after worrying about their refund somehow money hit their bank without any updates to WMR or the phone app notifications. In those case the IRS knew that money was coming to the bank, so they should’ve notified them.
Inconsistency is incompetent unprofessional. Tax service is supposed to be professional. The way you ask for a payment should be a contract. What if your mail was taken and somebody tried to cash your refund check, because criminals try to do anything to get over. A direct deposit is the safest way to receive money and the IRS is failing to provide quality service.
I don’t know how many people advocates can advocate for all at one time, but knowing that number is interesting. If they have too many people it’s impossible to give each case the attention that it deserves. There should be a direct dial into there desk and not waiting on the line to be called back in 2 days
Doesn’t feel like what an advocate should be. Failing to give updates even if no update is available. Unreliable the phone number mine gave me doesn’t even work. I have to call into the main number and wait 1 to 2 business days for mine to contact me back. They need to reform this whole process to make if work better for tax payers.
Can you say Congress on this site, because I don’t see some of my posts where I typed to contact Congress?
Look up your Tax Payer Bill Of Rights and see what the IRS can and can’t do https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-bill-of-rights and don’t just tell them report it
They are sending early January filers late letters at the end of Feb without even giving the courtesy to get an update via their website where everyone is logging into the system to check for their updates. They knew they were going to send a letter that can get lost in the mail, so why not use the most convenient technology available to provide a timely updated notification regarding the account instead they have people ordering transcripts.

The telephone number is 1800-366-4484 and they take complaints seriously and will open a case against that representative for disciplinary action. Your in this situation because the IRS isn’t fulfilling its manning requirements to address the number of filers and there’s no reason why you should be waiting on the phone for hours and being mistreated.
If you get your refund be sure to give feedback to state representatives about your Tax Payer Bill Of Rights being violated https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-bill-of-rights They need to know how long you waiting on the phone just to receive assistance and how Where’s my refund wasn’t providing update updates about refunds.
