After review, it still takes time to process your tax return.
The IRS is particularly behind this year because of the shutdown.
There is nothing we can to do expedite your refund.
You can call the IRS, but wait times are very lengthy.
The phone number is 1-800-829-1040
If you call the IRS,
they will need to verify who you are. Be prepared with:
·
Your
Social Security Number or Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number
·
Your
filing status (Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Joint or Married
Filing Separate)
·
Your
prior-year tax return (they may ask you questions from it to verify your
identity)
·
A
copy of the tax return you’re calling about
·
Any
letters they may have sent you
·
Paper
and pen to take notes--make sure to write down the day you called and the name and ID number of the agent you spoke to, as well as any
instructions or deadlines you were given.
