A guy named Joe Baton from Dothan Albama IRS office contacted me on whatsapp stating I need to pay a income fee of 4000 usdt for the funds they locked. I am not a US citizen so I cannot have an IRS account to get my tax transcript. He sent a copied invoice over whatsapp instead of IRS transcript. I would call for IRS to confirm if he is a real agent.

Ya’ll rude people don’t know how to the job

I filed my taxes online 5/07/2023 here it is 6/23/2023 still nothing, not even a good explanation on why so long and no return ,yet. I have called over 5 times to the IRS about the delay. I was told they needed my w-2 sent from my old job. They already had my w-2 that I sent to them online. Said they specifically, needed the one sent from the old job. So, I called my old job and informed them of what the IRS needed. My old job sent what the IRS needed by the beginning of April. Then I received a notice from the IRS stating they were reviewing my taxes and would need 120 days. Which is ridiculous considering you only needed one thing to verify and it wasn't my fault it was because of my old job. So, now I'm being punished. I called again and was told to call the IRS tax advocate line for help. I call them they told me to call back in June and they were not accepting new cases. Then I called in June and was told call back at the end of june. Also that I might have to wait till September to get my taxes. That is utterly ridiculous along with the countless of vague and inconsistent excuses to wait since February of 2023 all the way to September 2023 just because they have one W-2 to review. I hope I get my taxes even then!! This is a big Injustice for people like me. I am a single mom with two kids at home I barely can afford food after paying rent. This money I worked and paid taxes all year on. There is no delay on us having to pay taxes on everything we pay for everyday. Lets delay all the utility and sales tax for 120 days!! By they way the interest on the money is not significant enough to make a difference for all the time that was spent waiting for a refund, due to the number one excuse. Short staff or Number two. Waiting for 1 w-2!I

After waiting over an hour to speak with an IRS representative regarding my 2022 tax return, I learned the IRS counted $13,000 of $16,000 social security received in 2022 as income. There was only three months of earn income available due to being forced into early retirement. The government truly wants people to die and not get social security and the IRS are the enforcers.

This website is not put together especially well. Between having to verify my identity countless times and reset my password (when I even get that far), only for the VERY SAME PASSWORD TO NOT WORK, it's just a nightmare. How is it that small local businesses with tiny budgets can afford efficacious web developers to build their websites that have minimal bugs and errors, but the IRS/Government cannot seem to get high-performers to build and maintain their website? It is mind boggling!

This ID.me thing is crap. If I have to do a "selfie pic" to identity myself, IRS needs to go to TikTok. I'm getting a whopping $14 bucks back this year & 4 hours of computer clicking * selfie crap, still not done. The Dems are the IRS. Future generations are screwed. No wonder people don't want to go back to work. It's harder to do simple taxes . Dumb.

I have been trying to get a transcript for over three months to file my taxes. Normally, I could get the transcript only by logging into my account. For some reason, that option is no longer available. I wanted to go wait in line for IRS -- but now, you have to call in wait for hours and hope the phone does not disconnect.. and you have to call over and over. I question is why is there not an online option to schedule an appointment -- since it is so hard to get thru... The drivers license office, military ID section, etc.. all have online options to schedule an appointment.. Is the IRS trying to ensure returns are late????

I am writing this review as an awareness for the elderly citizens, or the ones which did not experience yet something like this. This review has nothing to do with the irs system or its agents, who most of them are wonderful people. Today I have called multiple numbers in order to inquire about my refund. I was over two hours on the phone with different agents. No one could really help me, since they were all mentioning something about a "letter of compromise" which is actually called "offer of compromise." I have been diverted to different phone numbers. When I called the 4th number 844-805-4908, something very strange happened. An answering machine was telling me that i am eligible for a $100 Wal-Mart gift card. I was not interested in that, but the menu did not offer other option. I had no choice but press #1. An individual with heavy Indian accent answered, identifying himself as Ryan. He listened to me, and replied that he will help me to get my tax refund right away. That was the moment which triggered my attention and realized I was dealing with a scammer from India. I told him that he is a scammer, and I hung up. Called the second time the above number. I have been forced to press #1 for that WAL-MART gift card in which I would not be interested. The same "Ryan" answered, and I asked, "Ryan, it's you again?" He simply hung up the phone. Called the 3rd time. Pressed #1 for the unwanted gift card. A woman answeed. Same Indian accent. I asked her to provide me with her badge number. She replied, "I do not have a badge number." I said, "All IRS agents have a badge number." Someone was talking behind her, and immediately she said, "ok. I will give you my badge number." I am sharing this experience in hope that other people will not fall victims to these scammers. Also, the IRS should do something to protect us. After all, I just wanted to talk to someone about my taxes. Who will help us?
