After you file

Only the IRS can give you any information about the processing of an accepted tax return and they do not share processing information with us, unfortunately.   If you spoke with 2 people at the IRS that saw no issues with your return, I suggest contacting a taxpayer advocate if you do not hear something soon.  Other IRS contact information can be found here.  

 

The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS and is your voice at the IRS.  Their job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and understand your rights.   They offer free help to guide you through the often-confusing process of resolving tax problems that you haven't been able to solve on your own. Remember, the worst thing you can do is nothing at all.

TAS can help if you can't resolve your problem with the IRS and:

  • Your problem is causing financial difficulties for you, your family, or your business.
  • You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action.
  • You've tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has responded to you, or the IRS hasn't responded by the date promised.  You said they told you 10 weeks, so you may need to wait that time period before contacting TAS.    @smitty152473
