Today is wed 2/1/23. I've called the IRS three times and no one there knows anything about any issues with ANY 1099's or the form 8960. Last call to IRS general phone line which I cannot include here, option '1' for English, option '2' for personal taxes (also goes the same direction for option '2' for business), option '2' for Help filing a form, option '4' for a general tax question, option '2' for self-employed. the call was answered by operator (#[phone number removed]) which may be removed by tt. He checked for any issues that the IRS may be working on as far as the form 8960 and returned with "NO issues". They are NOT working on any updates or corrections. He said it sounds more likely it's on TT end, not the IRS, which leaves me even more upset. He then also check into the possibility that one can only e-file up to FIVE times. He checked and came back to tell me he cannot find anything according to the IRS pertaining to any limit as to how many times a person can attempt to e-file. I myself stated yesterday, that I attempted to refile my federal for the SIXTH time and I was NOT told I had to paper file at that time. The IRS agent feels this is also on TT end, not IRS. Yes, I do see this all over google, but that doesn't make it true. I think I will try to e-file on another tax prep site, if for no other reason but out of curiosity. I don't know why there is no other information on other sites in regards to this 8960 issue nor is there anything about 1099 issues, not matter which 1099. There is zero reason for my taxes to include a form 8960. I have not have any investments this year. and do not have any forms that SHOULD HAVE produced a form 8960. I would appreciate it anyone knows where on the IRS site to find this date of 2/5/23, they would list a link here. I'm curious to know if it's a real deadline date or if it was a 'rumor' type of information started and continued by us on this 'blog'.
