Anybody still waiting for their tax returns?

[Sassy]

We still haven't received our 2020 tax refund. Our accountant e-filed our 2020 tax return on March 26, 2020 and he received a confirmation from the IRS on April 1st that they had received it. It got flagged and I received a letter in July 2020 requesting more information. I sent the info they requested the very next day. Fast forward... I've spoke to several agents on the phone and meet with our local agent. Finally June 6, 2022, I spoke to an agent who confirmed that they received our return and all the additional info that I went in, and it just hasn't been released. She put a request in to release the payment. She said that we could expect it with in 60 days or by August 30th. So we wait.

Here is my advise. Call the IRS "To Schedule an appointment" phone number... 844-545-5640 and stay on hold until someone answers. This will take awhile so it's best to call at 8:00 am. Be sure and tell the agent that you want to schedule an appointment or she/he will not talk to you. Once they realize that you want an appointment, they will try to resolve the issue. They don't want to schedule appointments. Then you can decide if you really need an appointment or not. We decided to meet face to face because we were told that our return was flagged due to possible "identity thief". Which thankfully, wasn't the case.

Keep in mind that every time you talk to an agent, you will get a different answer. Don't give up. If we don't get our refund by August 30th, I will call again and again until we get our money.

The agent advised us to set up and IRS account and you'll be able to request transcripts and get copies of your returns, etc. You can do that at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript


Hope this helps! Good luck!

I, and by that I mean my wife and I, got audited last year. SUUUCH a fuckin hassle and a bitch.
She has her own business and was writing things off pre our launch day. Which means we had to ammend our taxes and push it to the next year.
But they also made it fuckin impossible to deal with their auditors.

We basically fought it for 9 months, attempting to get into contact with the auditor to reduce our total amount. My wife is IN finance and the most detailed financial record keeper everrrr. But she basically refused to get in contact with us. We had our accountant and our lawyer reach out several times too. Finally, we ended up just paying the total amount just to fuckin end the thing. Ended up paying a total of 55k i think. Luckily, we had that type of money around but still.

And yes, still waiting on our shit too.

may want to consider having your CPA apply your overpayment to the following year's tax liability instead of getting a refund.

that effectively takes it out of the IRS' hands.

it's what my CPA recommends.

2 of my clients have been audited this year and have never been they also told me they know people who r getting audited it’s like a record audit year, fishing for cash by spending it

 

[get it in ya]

They give you a late fee even for a refund? They are bastards, I'd believe it.

The biggest scum on earth!! The last people we can trust with money. I owed a big chunk this year after selling out of stocks last year. Amazing how fast they grabbed the money out of my account, the next day lol. But if they owe us it takes months. Scum!!

Yup pretty much just pay them. Going forward my goal in life is to fu** them as much as I can legally. They are bottom feeders, filth. I’m sure you feel the same way

They fucked my credit for years bc they would not accept me paying taxes on cash training without my clients 1099ing me so I had plenty of money but $0 provable income, this of course also affects my SS bc I couldn’t pay into that. I invested otherwise and SS may be gone in 20 years but still they are jacked up mind you the steroid mania was started by an IRS agent who bothered Bonds during his workouts and his trainer basically told him to leave them alone and so he started going after the trainer, steroids, etc………

Ruined baseball ruined careers all over ego and jealousy, it’s like the Cop who wears his badge to the bar or the SEAL who rocks his trident EVERYWHERE he goes, come on dude, yea I know Marines do that shit too but we call each other out on it

I've ready plenty of highly convincing evidence that bot the IRS and The Federal Reserve are two of the biggest shams in human history.

I personally can't back up any of these claims but most of it is just historical fact and it all stems back to a small place off the coast of the Carolinas known as Jekyll Island. Take a look. It might change your perspective. Suffice it to say that since 1913 when the The Federal Reserve Act was passed, only 4₵ of your original dollar remains. In fact, they've dropped all pretence since the Bretton Woods Agreement and now the dollars are just called "notes". You can pull out a note and read it yourself.

And like bonds and treasuries, now dollars are "Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States". And that faith and credit is the ONLY thing that gives that paper value.

True! Our government is using MMT (Modern Monetary Theory). Under a socialist and communist systems, they believe all the money belongs to the government. They loan it to people and businesses. They can recall it back via taxes any time they want. They also believe they can print as much money as they want. Our government adopt MMT when they drop the gold standard. They claimed that they would be "responsible" with printing money.

Nixon took us off the gold standard. It was only a matter of time until our dollars had zero reserve backing them up. And three quarters of the countries on Earth use USD as their reserve currency. Their fake euros, pounds, francs, et al are backed by our fake dollars. MMT is debunked. That got about as far as 4chan. Maybe made it to reddit. MMT would have you believe the more money you print the better because it lowers the cost of our dollars. What it would do is make them worthless. Which is happening anyway through fractional reserve banking loans and large amounts of cash creation to purchase corporate paper.

Which the Fed has been doing at the rate of billions per month for years to "increase the size of their portfolio". Fortunately, they've recently slowed down infusing corporations with all that free cash and corps turned around and just raised prices to keep that cash flowing. Corps are making huge 300% year over year profits but unlisted and small businesses get nothing. It's pathetic. But corps run the world now. What can you do? We allow money in lawmaking (politics). It's a Supreme Court decision. Citizens United. That was the final nail in the coffin.

 

[Bleed]

Corporations have personhood. That's per the supreme court (of which there is no mention of a supreme court in the constitution).

They have all the benefits of personhood without any of the liabilities. Consider that the idea of spending incomprehensible amounts of money to buy politicians is considered "free speech" and if you have an issue with that, the supreme court says you are allowed to spend as much of your own money to counter a corporation. Now, obviously that's laughable, but that's what they "ruled".

But on the other side, imagine if you personally flooded the market with synthetic heroin, crashed the real estate market, or perhaps you decided paying people for their labor is bullshit so you are opting to buy slaves on the ivory coast to do your work because only a fool pays for labor. If you did any of that, you would be up shit creek. No paddle. When corporations do it, they get bailouts and a stern talking to by senators those same corporations already own.

If you know what quantitative easing is, who benefited from that? Exactly. Banks. Essentially free money courtesy of the federal reserve.

It's a big club. And you aint in it. Carlin was ahead of his time.

Quantitative easing...

 

[Bleed]

No worries. They switched over to QT. Quantitative Tightening.

Those bank rates have gone up which means the prime rate has as well. Ideally, they start tightening the purse strings *before* bad shit starts happening.

And to the OP, I owe every year. I never get a return. I E-file, get how much I owe them, then schedule the day it disappears from my bank account. They're never late on the withdrawal of course.

I never give them an interest free loan if I can help it.

Quantitative easing...

 

[Othello]

I never get a return

It was past 5 minutes. Too late to edit when I saw it.

Same, I always owe. Getting a refund means your to conservative for most. I wish I owed 100 million every year, that means I did really well lol, then how do I reduce those taxes so I don’t have to pay those scum. I don’t want a refund

 

[Bleed]

I cant argue with this. Im never caught by owing because I always take their cut and put it off to the side. Some guys I know act like they had no idea they were going to owe which if you knew the guys I do, is laugh out loud funny.

If I owed a 100 million, things couldn't be going any better than if I owed a billion.

Lol exactly! I always have more put aside. Always pay them, I don’t mess with that and I’m never surprised
