The only agency that goes over and above to ensure the State is not denied.

#3 They had 2 million pieces of unopened mail at their Kansas City processing center two Augusts ago and apparently it's still there, albetit maybe a tad smaller. I'm calling BS and I haven't sent shit to KC since that IRS appeals guy told me that (mail backlog).

We were held up 45+ days in filling the latest FED/GA returns.

It seems the IRS failed to provide a Social Security Admin form needed for SSA retirees to file late into Feb. 2022. Then took the Tax S/w people a week+ to add it.

#7 And - try calling the IRS for anything. I haven't gotten through on my last four calls. My old CPA boss said in an e-mail last month - 'the tax system is in shambles'. No argument here.

#9 Its only work if you do it...

IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig testified to the Senate Finance Committee today. Rettig said agents are only picking up one in five taxpayer phone calls.

Rettig said: “We are currently running around 19 to 20 percent level of service.”

#12 I filed my taxes a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard back. Nor have they taken the money from my account. I am wondering - if they don't take it before the 18th - will I have to pay a penalty?

If you mailed a hard copy to them Return Receipt, you have a signed record of when they got it, Crazy Fool, useful for discussing the question with them. Beyond that, I don’t know.

Yep, they sure will, the same way FedEx got rid of their backlog.....throwing them into ditches and dumpsters.
