I just happen to be a Legal Analyst and former Federal Employee with the Coast Guard and dealt with Government Lawyers and such who are no different than us. My suggestion to all who think their returns are long overdue is to write a short but curt letter to the IRS and ask them "Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act" that you want to be made aware of any possible errors that are holding your return back as well as a tentative date that you can expect your return.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)is a law that requires Federal Agencies to answers questions posed to them by Tax Payers. The only problem with FOIA is that the Agency can take time to answer the question because they must research the answer. It's worth a try.
