Greetings to all!
I have been on this forum for a while now. I posted my story on here a few weeks back and just here to offer a update.
I had a 250 dollar discrepancy in my tax return (this was my fault because I used the last pay stub). I was an early filer. I filed 1/21, accepted 1/27, tax transcripts updated mid-February with the 570 - then nothing. The IRS claimed that they mailed a letter - which I never received. I reached out to an advocate who stated that she could not help me on her end, however, she was able to tell me about the 250 dollar discrepancy. When I found that out I amended and mailed that in overnight. I had all of that done by the third week in February. I waited about a week for an update and nothing - so I reached out to the advocate again (because now she could help me - so I thought). She said I had to wait 30 days before she could open a case however she stated that she could see that the amended return was received and assigned. Two weeks passed and silence. So last week I called and she stated that the "review" was showing completed and I should have seen an update in last weeks transcript update but I did not. Earlier this week, I called again and she stated that she was still showing that the case was closed and completed. Since this was the status she opened a case for me. Yesterday, I called again and she said that she could see a DDD of the 25th. This morning, my transcripts in fact updated with the DDD for the 25th.
So I would say that if you are able to get an advocate to at least tell you what the issue is (if any), then maybe you can take some action on your own. The advocates are really restricted this year with what they are able to do and when they are able to step in to help, but there are some things that they can see that may be helpful.
I summed up my story as much as I could but hopefully this helps someone.
