What's taking my refund so long? I have code 1541 on IRS site.

Basically the irs/advocate didn’t believe I worked for the company that I filed. So they are saying the company has to write a letter on their letterhead and put how much I made and their contact info and I also have to fax my last check stub to them. This tax season is stupid as hell

[Ash1729]

Oh my goodness!!!!! This is making me nervous

[Monty]

Wow what the hell. That’s messed up. If u gotta do that. Then god only knows how long we will be waiting for a refund. Cause if they don’t believe u then how r they gonna believe we worked for our companies we put in

[Monty]

Don’t get nervous. I’m gonna wait till after this weekend and if no change I’m gonna call and talk to the management department again and see how I can speed this up. Even if I have to go to my employers and have them resend the w2s and certify mail it

[Ash1729]

Me too

[Monty]

Yea I heard the advocates are being dicks cause the real reason for an advocate is to get money from irs when u owe money to get a refund and I’m guessing they r getting upset about it

[Ss4911]

My situation might be different then y’all situation. I reported $24,989 and only $13,391 has been reported. That’s $10,000 that they don’t have and can’t find. I told her I had a w-2 she said the w2 don’t matter anyone can make a w-2 she needs something from the actually
Company and truth be told they stupid as hell. Because I could just take the company logo off the internet and attach it to a work document and write a letter. So it doesn’t make to much sense to me how a letter has more power than a w2. But okay if it makes sense to the irs then I will go along with it

[Monty]

I shouldn’t have a problem with the employer cause I worked for them the year before to. So they on last yrs taxes to. Just don’t know it hasn’t shown up yet

[Monty]

U would think that if they aren’t getting the w2s from these companies and we’re calling all the time that they would send a letter to the company asking them to fax the **bleep** proof over like they told the very first time I called and they told me if they don’t get it soon that they send a letter asking for them to fax it to them for proof. I swear irs stands for ignorant retarded and stupid ass people

[Ss4911]

Omg your so right! I totally right about that....

[Ash1729]

I did start a new job last year so I’m stressing it more now. I had 2 w-2’s but one I’ve claimed before and the other is my new job

[Monty]

I wouldn’t stress. I had 2 w2s and 1 1099. Only one w2 is showing and it’s the one from the new job I started right before the new year. The one w2 from the job I filed with twice now is missing and the 1099 is missing. Just gonna wait. Nothing we can do right now

[Ash1729]

Thank you Monty for being so positive!!!

[Monty]

[Monty]
