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

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

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

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?

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.

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 filed my taxes along with a request for an ITIN in the first week of April. I got the ITIN and documents used for it. Still no news on filing status. Should I file again?

In May 2026, I received a 2022 CO 81 notice for not filing taxes and ~$12k in credit. I confirmed with my tax atty the tax return was filed and taxes were paid ( I was hybrid 1099 and w-2) that year.

I promptly paid the ~$1k taxes (again) and sent in the return to the separate locations (Cincy and Philly respectively, IIRC). The check was cashed, but the portal is not reflecting receipt of my 2022 tax return.

Are these being sent out in error? Does it take three months to update the portal? What gives..? Not freaking out, but just absolutely annoyed.

I know the “As of Date” on the transcript doesn’t mean nothing much. But my as of date was 7-13-2026. And I haven’t had any updates since. This is for my 2024 amended return. Any idea as to why that date hasn’t changed??

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?

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?

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 paper filed my 2022 Tax return this past April in order to meet the deadline to not forfeit my refund. I haven’t heard back but when calling to schedule an appointment at a physical location to speak with an IRS agent, they informed me that I received a 2645C (to my old address). I finally got ahold of it and it basically just tells me that they need additional time to review. I want to note that I accidentally sent my tax return to the Fresno location (supposed to be to Ogden, UT since I live in California).

1) Does this basically confirm they have my tax return? (I was worried that sending it to the Fresno location, which was the former address, was going to be an issue)

2) Typically is it an alarming sign that they need more time? I had a lot of various crypto gains and losses and took me forever to fill out the right forms to document it all.

I need to talk to the IRS business unit about an estate income tax issue. I am on the west coast. Every time I call them, the automated system just tells me to call back another time. It doesn't offer to put me on hold or call me back.

Due to my work, I can't call them until after 10am in the morning.

Anyone has suggestions for me to reach a live person there? Thanks.

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.

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?

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,

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.
