My 2018 tax transcript says “examination of tax return”

[mint409]

I amended this last year and just checked my transcript. I was wondering if its possible to not receive the letter or notice. I haven't been keeping track of my mail and nervous that I might be out of luck. 420 is the last code That I got . Is it possible that this 420 gets resolved on its own at this point since its the last tc on the transcript and its been nearly 2 months

Go to the IRS Get My Refund site.  After you enter your info, there's a link to click to see any notices they have sent you, if you're worried you may not have received them by mail.

What ever happened with your refund? I’ve waited this long to get all the same codes and I’ve filed 1/31

Tam22, 

I did everything that was requested by the Irs. All my documents were sent in by 2/27/22. I spoke with an examiner that stated this was due to EIC issue and I filed an amended return on 3/9/22 to correct the issue. On 3/28/22 I was approved for aid from the IRS tax payer advocate services. Someone was to reach out within four weeks. On 5/24/22 after no movement from the irs on the audit, no help from the taxpayer advocate group that was supposed to call in 4 weeks, and no movement on the amended return… I contacted my congressman. I sent them a detailed lengthy email explaining my hardships, how this was impacted me, and why I need their help. I had also tried contacting the taxpayer advocate services first and after trying to explain that after waiting almost two months with no one contacting me… that something had to be done… instead of helping, I was talked to disrespectfully, treated poorly, transferred around and on hold for five hours, and hung up on in the end. Not one person wanted or tried to help, nor would they even take the time to listen! On hat night of 5/24/22, I emailed my congress representative (anyone can do it) and I explained everything to them and the issues I was facing. On 5/27/22 I sent all of my tax documents to their office and was given an irs tax advocate that works through my congressman’s office. On 6/3/22 I finally received a call from the original taxpayer advocate that never contacted me  (I hink this was because of getting my congressman involved). The advocate asked a few very brief questions about my tax return, the EIC, and addressed new issue that I was unaware of. I guess my unemployment compensation money was never reported to the IRS by the employer. Therefore, I was flagged for it. Even though I have the bank statements and 1099-G to prove my income was received and I’m soooo greatful I sent it in on 2/27/22! She said if I documented things that well, that she was sending a request for Re-review of my audit and amended return. I will hear something within the next 10 days. That’s where we’re at now. This has truly been a nightmare & im hoping & praying it’s almost over!!!

Hey whatever happened to the 810 code?

[zorailynj_]

This year I have the same situation can you tell me what happen? Did you got your refund? 

[sarafaye]

zorailynj_, hi & yes I can tell you what happened. So I was audited by the irs. It was a dependent, ctc, & earned income credit audit. It was a mail in audit. I filed 1/24, got the audit letter in February. I mailed all the requested documents that were listed in the audit letter within a week of receiving the request (I scanned the documents in on the irs website, which was also on the audit letter). The audit took 7 months. I did win the audit & I received my full tax refund on August 1st, 2022… but I would like to notate that the irs was very behind last year & they were performing many audits. So I’m hoping that your suit will be processed much faster than mine was. My biggest suggestion is to send in as much documentation as possible. I sent in 300 pages from proof that my kids lived with me, birth certificates, school enrollment verification letter (I got these from the schools the kids went to), notarized letter of verifications from the dad, the baby sitter for the kids that were not enrolled in school for proof that my kids lived with me & I paid for their child care. I also wrote out a bunch of receipts for any expenses that I paid for, printed out bank statements for the entire year, I submitted my court / custody orders / agreements, as well as printed out all utility bill statements for the entire year, & mortgage / rent statements & receipts for proof of head of household & single solo parent / care taker that provided more than half of the costs to run / maintain the house hold. I also printed out my school college expenses & detailed receipts of classes, books, & fees I paid for when I was enrolled into school. The documentation is the most important part. If you can’t prove that the kids are yours, that your head of house hold & pay for more than half of the bills on your own & that the children lived with you for more than six months out of the year, then you might loose the audit. Your documentation is the key to winning this. Good luck, & I hope this helps! 
p.s., I’m sorry that you got audited. It’s is quite literally one of the biggest pains in the ass. The situation is long, stressful, ridiculous, & uncalled for. But good luck & I hope you make it through unscathed.

It was a audit and yes I got my refund after they sent me letter stating that I needed documents to prove that I qualify for eic ctc how. I got a tax advocate that got my refund back but it took till like end of March which was quick considering had I not contacted the advocate it would of taken 6-12 months;( but yes I got it all back 

[Kslajgirlz79]

As soon as I seen my transcript I immediately called tax advocates bc j was in middle of buying a new home that was set to close March 1st and I was told it probably would take 6-12 months bc they were so behind. So I didn't even wait for the letter I went on it's website and printed out a sample letter of what the advocate told me they would send with a list kf documents for each credit as u stated (eic,ctc,hoh) I sent in almost 100 pages of proof as u stated u sent. And I filled in the papers I printed to go along with all the proof bc I wasn't waiting for the letter bc at that point they sent it out Feb 2 and it was the end of Feb with my closing date fast approaching . I told my advocate and sent they copies of what I sent into the irs as well and they also sent it in to irs along with their request to release my money immediately. They told me they would contact me in 3 weeks for an update and it would probably take past my March 24th date but they would try their hardest to get it to e before. Well I got my refund about 2-3 weeks later right in time for my March 24th closing date . I believe it was like March 16th if I remember correctly. My advocate called shocked to let me know it was being deposited saying he never seen them move so fast. I was lucky though bc like u most people were waiting past August/September. My sisters came in one week before mine but there was no audit for her ans we were buying the house together so between us it all worked out we moved in March 24th on time. But had I not had the advocate I know it would of taken so much longer.  I'm praying we don't get audited this year . My husband passed away this past June a s I had to change filing status etc and my sister is claiming the kids bc I barely worked this last year bc I'm on disability and though I normally work part time I was dealing with losing my husband and the kids struggling etc . So I'm praying they don't audit us 

[Spoiled9310]

I’m glad it all worked out for you.  I’ve been claiming my kids their entire lives and I am now going through the same thing with the same codes. I haven’t received anything in the mail yet so now I’m waiting smh. Very frustrating! 

[Dreka1]

i have code 810 811 and 420 no notice sent or code why i don’t have a notice ?

[Dreka1]

i don’t have the 971 code but i have the rest 

[Noseynancy95]

It didn’t work out I was audited to hell 

[Noseynancy95]

420 is an audit at least in my experience it was 

[Noseynancy95]

Just so everyone knows I was audited to hell. Even after proving so much , dna test, school records , social service records I was denied. It was and still has been nightmare.
