So as you may have seen i had the same thing happen. Brace yourself because it is going to be a huge pain but you can cut the time in half compared to how i handled it. It took 3 years for me to get my money back. But what you need to do is contact your congressman's office. They have agents who help with this sort of thing. They have ways to get in contact with irs faster. Just keep in touch with your representative and you will eventually get it back. I bothered my rep once or twice a month to see where things were. So dont delay and call them! If theyre a good office you will get it. If not. You know you need to vote for someone else.
