While filling out my new taxes I decided to set up an IRS account to check on my stimulus payments. I didn’t receive the $600, and should have, so I wanted to make sure it was never sent so I could take advantage of it on my 2020 1040.
Lo and behold I was told I was a non-filer for 2019’s taxes. Funny thing, though — they cashed the check sent with the return, and my transcript has the code “610 Payment with Return” on it, but in other places it says no return on file.
Now I have to figure out their mess they created for me... Guess I’ll be filing electronically from here on out, because it looks the IRS round filed my 2019 return.
OH NO. Good luck with that. A few years ago, we got some letters saying we owed about $250,000. Took months to get it straightened out. And every time I would call the IRS to check on it, anyone I talked to identified herself as “Mrs. Knox”.
