The taxpayer advocate was created to help individuals deal with the IRS. See Taxpayer Advocate | Internal Revenue Service. You can ask for an expedited refund if it is causing financial issues.

It depends. Was your return selected for Identity and Tax Return Verification?  The information at that link indicates that, after completing all of the steps shown, your return should be received in up to nine weeks.

 

Visit Where’s My Refund? or use the IRS2Go mobile app to check the status of your refund. Call the IRS at 800-829-1040 if directed. 

 

If instead, you had reported an instance of identity theft to the IRS, you can call 800-908-4490 for specialized assistance.

Yes, it was selected for Identity and Tax Return Verification. I followed all the steps and verified my identity with a IRS person, and they told me that there's nothing else for me to do. Also, it was writted about the nine weeks, it s been 7 months since.  On the Where's My Refund? or the irs app, both show me that it's still processing.

There have been tons of calls to the IRS number, but only robot answers with the same visit www.irs.gov bull****, and on the nearest office i've been trying to get an appointment since summer, no answer.
