After you file

It sounds like you would definitely qualify for the taxpayer advocate service. Call them at [phone number removed] and  be sure to let them know that you are currently facing financial hardship. Normally you would have to file a form to get their assistance...but if you take the steps I mentioned they will actually do it for you over the phone and they will help you sooner rather than later. Plus they would be able to look into the status of your return for you. Best of luck. I hope your money comes to you soon.
