OMG, I’M NOT ALONE!
I was seriously feeling so alone in this FRUSTRATING, HAIR-PULLING, SANITY-DEPLETING situation!!!!
I am legitimately going through exactly what you all are suffering from and I just wanna say first that I am so sorry you are all experiencing this type of mistreatment.
I haven’t filed in several years. However, last year I got a job at Macy’s and made a good amount of income by the start of 2020. I got my W-2 and decided to get my taxes taken care of (I was ACTUALLY kinda EXCITED, even, to do my taxes!! To me, it was GREAT working again - I missed it! I missed being able to be a responsible adult... like I used to be).
Anyways, I filed my taxes in January and got the 507 whatever notice in the mail in late February. They said I had a month to respond. I tried calling the number(s). It rang and rang and rang and rang and rang and said they were too busy and hung up (or something like that but point is, I couldn’t get through). At some point they shut down the phone lines all together. Now I have no option to call. One of the first things I did was try to do it online. Well, you NEED a credit card, mortgage, student loan, auto loan, — Blah blah blah except I have NONE OF THESE! If you can’t do it online they say to call. ... we already went over that .... (can’t call) so the only other option is in person ....(not doing that either). Oh and they aren’t even accepting paper mail so anything mailed to them in the last couple months probably hasn’t even been opened and if it has they likely will take forever.
I've honestly come up with the conclusion that my MISTAKE...was freaking FILING TAXES & DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! Seriously, If I didn’t do that and just not filed any taxes (even though I had income), I WOULD HAVE THE $1200 STIMULUS MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!
... JUST LIKE MY UNEMPLOYED, NON-CONTRIBUTING DRUG ADDICTED SISTER & MY 'HASN’T WORKED OR FILED TAXES IN 6 YEARS BUT STILL GOT HIS MONEY ON DAY 1' LITTLE BROTHER!!
MY MISTAKE WAS DOING MY TAXES. BOTTOM LINE. Can you believe that?? I am so frustrated I could scream! This is NOT RIGHT!!
