Employer refuses to report wages to IRS

[Justmyluck]

In 2021 I finally received my W2 via my email from my previous employer, I filed my taxes. My refund is still being held 3/2023 due to them never reporting to IRS. I spoke to them about getting a letter with the information my tax advocate needed, they said they would get it sent to me the following day, weeks ago. Since then I can’t get my calls answered or texts responded to. What do I do?

You will need to reach out to the IRS and discuss this directly with them for your next steps. 

IRS: 800-829-1040  

Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM (local time zone)

Monday-Friday

• Listen to each menu before making the selection.
• First, choose your language. Press 1 for English.
• Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
• Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
• Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
• Then press 3 "for all other questions."
• Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or, you can visit your local IRS Office.

Thanks, unfortunately I’ve spent hours the last year trying to speak to them with no help I’ve been told to just wait it out and hope they get it turned in.
