I need some advice.
I was notified by the IRS that the reason my 2019 tax return is being held is because they did not receive my 1040's for both 2016 and 2017.
It's a long story, but suffice it to say that neither year was filed and on top of that I am no longer in possession of any of my tax documents for those years that I would need in order to file. W2's, 1099's, Schedule K's etc.
What are my options? How do I proceed from here?
I have attempted contacting the IRS to discuss this but apparently it's not possible to speak with a human over the phone.
I need advice on what I can do. I can't file the 1040's without my tax documents for those years and it would take me forever to procure them again. Several companies I worked for at those times are no longer in business.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
