A glimmer of hope, perhaps, for those of us needing to contact the irs about this systematic error we've committed:
Private ruling requests can now be submitted electronically:
"
The IRS is allowing taxpayers to submit requests for private letter rulings and other legal advice electronically instead of on paper amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Under guidance released Thursday, the agency is also permitting the use of electronic signatures on the required documents. Revenue Procedure 2020-29 is the IRS’s latest attempt at easing correspondence with taxpayers, which has become more complicated because of Covid-19."
I'm gonna try it. Maybe if all of us did they would afford us some sort of recourse because they flat out are NOT touching any paper right.
