IRS tax refund delayed

[FHRRK]

5. In the same boat

Website basically give no updates.

Mine was unusually large due to some over withholding on a one time event.

Major pain in the ass, especially since I just got a 2017 issue finally paid back at the beginning of the year. They sent me a 15k bill in 2019, paid and noted that I was paying but the error was on their side. Then COVID hit and they went completely dark. Then they finally agreed it was IRS error, but said Statute of Limitations ran out.

First started fighting it using Katie Porter’s office, they had it for a year, did squat and then walked away from it after redistricting. Repub Rep office did get it resolved for me, took the IRS about nine months to actually process the check.

I know we have some IRS supporters here, but the vast majority of employees completely sucked. Got some shocking responses.

Conversely, CA State Franchise Tax Board hit me up sometime in 2021 on the same issue, similarly I had short time to pay. Difference was I provided them the exact same docs I provided to the IRS. CA resolved the issue in 30 days and within two weeks sent me a refund.
