I think you are on the right track. The IRS isn't going to be able to do anything further to help resolve the issue until you file your return. As you send, submit your return with Form 4852 along with a letter of explanation, and whatever supporting documentation you have. if, after filing, the issue isn't resolved, I would contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service for assistance.
