This is reminiscent of the SCRS debacle of 1985. I worked at the IRS back in the 80’s. They were updating the Fred and Barney era computer system, did a small test installation, then proceeded to replace the entire system just before filing season. The whole thing crashed and burned in a manner that rivaled the Hindinberg. Nothing was processed for 6 months. Rumors circulated of raw unbatched documents sent to the shredder when the unprocessed batched documents began to pile up. It took 2 years to wade through that shitstorm and finally catch up.
The IRS is the enemy of the American people.
They threaten people....and they’re the victim?!?
So, stop the freaking automated notices until you get the payments properly posted. That’s a no brainer. So sorry, Chairman Xiden has to deal with the consequences of this overhyped Covid debacle. JK
No too backlogged to send out collection letters
I am getting money back this year. I need to adjust my withholding
Work from home? They don’t work when they are in the office and they sure aren’t going to work from home.
As for sorting it out? Bull. They have never not been in a mess or a constant royal cluster fluck.
Well that is not the whole story. If the IRS thinks you owe them 65k or more they pull your passport and you cannot leave the country.
GD government slackers! As if answering the phone and opening mail is harder just because you’re at home! I’ve noticed the postal system is screwed up too, I got one bill from my CC company in the mail 3 DAYS after it was due!
I’ve been waiting about 19 years to get an answer to a simple question I asked the IRS. Don’t think it is my responsibility to follow up.
I have been hassling with the IRS for 2 months. The short story—they claimed that I didn’t file my 2019 taxes. But they sure as hell cashed my check in April of last year.
