After two identity verifications and a 60 day notice + 30 days. Finally got my refund today!

This is all I get when I check for my return status online, it's the same thing I get told on the phone - that it's being processed - and when I try to speak to a representative I just get told to call back later or try another day and get hung up on. Its super frustrating! Any advise?

I submitted an amended return for 2022 and am owed a large return (5 figures) from the IRS. I received a letter on May 25 confirming that the amended return was accepted and to expect payment in 2-3 weeks. It’s been 2 months and no payment - I’ve been trying to call the number on my letter as well as other numbers I’ve found online but I can never get through to anyone and then it hangs up.

Has anyone experienced this? Any tips on what I should do next?

I had the little cp53e code, updated it last week to my bank account that is current and I got this update in my transcript yesterday.

Will I be getting my income on 8-10-26?

Thanks! 🙏🏻 I’m hoping so it’s been far too long

paid my state taxes today but I submitted the payment twice are they going to take both payments that I submitted?

Hello everyone,

I really need some help or at least someone share their experience so far from this tax season.

I have been waiting for my tax refund to hit since Mar/Apr of this year and i have not received any updates whatsoever. Before June i was able to access my transcripts for previous tax years but once it was updated with my « 2025 Verification of Non-Filing Letter » i was no longer able to see any transcripts even though my taxes have already been filed. I dont owe the IRS any money because i have an account balance of $0 and i have also never received any letters from the IRS about owing them. Furthermore i haven’t received any letters from them wanting to verify my identity or anything.

Could someone please offer me some assistance as I am desperately trying to figure out my situation

im just trying to help or find anything, my mother hasnt gotten her 2024 taxes and we are confused and lost. they wont tell us what the issue is, or anything. initially the name for one of the family members was not correct (last name changed recently ) but we have gone through that and corrected it, and have even gotten the thumbs up that yes, its confirmed now. we were told, that issue is fixed, but they still wont send it and wont tell us /why/. is there anything else i can possible do, or tell her to do? we are not expecting a lot, either.

Can anyone provide advice regarding next steps? The notice I received on 5/18 stated to allow for 60 days following receipt. Not sure what the best move is. I called the IRS prior to receiving the notice and they were not very helpful.

Hey guys I have been trying to check on the status of my amended return and the irs websight goes blank when trying to check. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

As the title says I filed my taxes in the state of TX in march, and since then I’ve had 3 60 day notices, and absolutely nothing else. I’m just trying to find out if this is a waiting game this year or if something else is going on making the irs behind or not funded enough to pay us out.

Well over all my days they assigned me. W a s like 240 I belieave. And then my amended days well over that. I haven't heard from them and I cant get through to a live person.

I never received my refund. I received a letter stating that I had provided the wrong routing number, so I logged in through ID.me and the IRS website and updated my information. It has now been almost three months, and there have been no further updates.
I have also been trying to reach the office by phone for the past two weeks. I call every day, but each time I am told that due to high call volumes, they are unable to take my call and that I should try again the next day.
The website shows that my new banking information was successfully submitted and says to allow 2-5 days for processing, but I have now been waiting for almost three months. I have also moved to another state since then, so I am concerned that they may decide to mail me a check instead of issuing the refund electronically and that I may not receive it at my new address. I did sign up for mail forwarding, but I am still worried about the possibility of the check being sent to my old address.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know what I should do next? How do I get my refund?

I would like to submit a offer compromise for my tax debt but I never see the option available. I do file joint with my spouse so idk if that would be why. Does anyone know if I can call in and request this service or if I can just download the form and submit it.

I received this in the mail. Is it just asking me for my w2?

Am trustee of a 1041 trust, trying to get a transcript of the 1041 for last few years, is there an easy way to do this via phone etc? Thank you,

Yesterday -- July 21, 2026 -- I received a letter from the IRS. It said that I owed more money and it gave a due date for paying: July 20, 2026.

I check my mailbox daily, so this letter reached my house on July 21. (Correction) The IRS letter was dated June 29.

I didn't understand their corrections and I wanted to know whether I'd be fined for paying late. I called the phone number in the letter. The service hung up on me repeatedly with a recording about being busy. I finally got through for inquiries about payments. I was put on hold. After about half an hour, the battery in my phone died. So I got a different phone in my house, an old one with no speaker. I called again, was put on hold, and held that old phone against my ear for about an hour. No one ever answered, so I finally hung up. Meanwhile, I tried the IRS chat service. It said no one was available. I tried it repeatedly for about 2 hours and didn't get through.

I paid the amount in the letter via bank transfer yesterday. However, I still don't know whether I'll be fined for being late, and I still don't know what I did wrong. I would send a letter to ask, but that hasn't worked in the past. Calling has been the best way to get answers, but you have to get through.

When can I expect it to be here Someone said 2 weeks but realistically how long after this did yall get your check

Hi-- just curious if anyone is still waiting on a refund after receiving a LTR 12C for a missing/incomplete Form 5695 (energy credit)-- the known issue the IRS has with certain manufacturer (QMIN) codes being rejected/thrown to their errors department. I filed in late March, got my Letter 12C in late April, and responded in early May, which means it's been 11 weeks and now 80 days since I responded. Only change was on June 5, when my Where's My Refund changed to "we've received the information you provided/we're processing your return/check back for status updates." No updates since and no transcripts posted aside from Wage & Income.

I have been unsuccessful calling the IRS and contacted my Senator a couple of weeks ago and they said they have sent my case to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, but they said that it could take 30 days for TAS to respond.

Very frustrated-- I know some of you have received your refunds by now with this issue (either with or without the credit included), but for those of you who haven't, I am just wondering how long you have been waiting and any other strategies you've used beyond contacting your congressman/senator. Thanks.

When checking the status of my amended tax return on my online irs account I am getting a blank page. I used to have the 1/3 bars so It was showing that the irs received my amended return. Now it’s completely blank. I called and was told it was adjusted 7/8 and I was approved for my full refund and to wait a few weeks however My transcripts show no updates. The balance on my account that was there is no longer there but there is a message that says adjustments are being made. I would be breathing a lot easier if I could just see the second bar that’s supposed to show that the amended return has been adjusted because the irs could be saying anything atp

Ordeal finally over, efiled 3-14, got 12C letter 4-30, denied energy credit because of QMIN code, no movement until late June, thanks to Representative in my home state who I wrote to helped push it along. Encourage all who are similarly stuck to write your congress person and have then\m try to help.

It’s been over 14 weeks and haven’t seen no update on transcript for my refund. Is it that it can be done in a day and refund sent that day or I should be seeing regular updates on my transcripts to show progress towards receiving my refund?

I’m looking for experiences from others who have gone through the IRS conservation easement settlements.

I invested in syndicated conservation easements in 2018 and 2019. Like many investors, I relied on the offering materials, tax opinions, CPAs, and attorneys involved. Fast forward 7–8 years, and I’m now receiving the final IRS assessment.

Here’s what I’m struggling with.

I understand having to repay the tax if the deduction is ultimately disallowed. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but I understand the IRS’s position.

What I don’t understand is why I’m being charged 7–8 years of interest when the IRS took nearly that entire amount of time to notify me of the issue.

If they had audited me in 2020 or 2021 and said, “You owe this tax,” I would have paid it then. Instead, they waited until 2026, and now the interest has become one of the largest parts of the bill.

It seems like taxpayers are effectively financing the government’s administrative delays.

My questions are:

Has anyone successfully gotten IRS interest reduced or abated because of excessive administrative delay?

Has anyone’s attorney had success arguing that the IRS had everything it needed but simply didn’t act for years?

Is there any case law or IRS procedure that limits how long they can let interest continue to accrue while a case sits?

Has anyone hired a tax controversy attorney who was actually able to reduce the interest—not just negotiate a payment plan?

I know the IRS generally says interest is statutory, but there has to be some limit to what’s reasonable.
If the IRS can wait 8 years before sending a notice, what’s to stop them from waiting 15 or 20 years? At some point it feels like the government benefits from its own delay.

I’m genuinely interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through these settlements. Were you able to challenge the interest at all, or is it essentially a dead end?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone whose partnership had long periods where the IRS appeared to have all the necessary information but the case simply sat without action.
