Keep an eye on this- 2 friends of mine had their taxes filed by someone else and their refund checks stolen. I think one filed for a huge refund when my friend wasn’t expecting much back and it was paid.
Yes, we are checking every day and will call the Taxpayer Advocacy Hotline again in another week or 2.
It was maddening that they didn’t even want to try to find it for us (this was in December, 9 months later), without asking if we are at risk of being evicted or some financial tragedy. I said we did need the refund money asap, since we have now received our next property tax bill from the city.... UGGGGHH
They did admit to many thousands of returns that were sent to Ogden, UT in 2021 (year before) were just destroyed, because they didn’t have time to get to them, so I suspect that this is what happened again.
