I called the IRS today and finally got someone on the phone. She said I am being reviewed because I claimed the EIC, even though I have gotten EIC the last 10+ years with no problems. She also told me that a form is scheduled to be mailed to me IN THREE WEEKS!!! My return was accepted a week ago, and I got the Notice 151 a few days ago. Apparently, they need three weeks to send out a letter asking me for more info, even thought the state sent an email requesting more info the day after I filed. I was able to email the info requested, and already received my state refund. The state is certainly WAY more streamlined. I mean, how hard is it to just request the information instead of having to hire people to answer phone calls from disgruntled tax filers, and more people to draft letters requesting information…and spending on postage to send those letters out. Seriously. A bunch of buffoons running that agency.
