I Hate the Internal Revenue Service (1 Viewer)

Too long.

So they told you the process will take 16 weeks. You couldn't wait the 16 weeks, so 6 weeks early, you decided to check how the process was going. And lo and behold, the process is not complete.

Do I have it right?

No. The web site says that if I don't see it listed as being received 3 weeks after submitting, to contact them. It also says that they take 16 weeks to process. It's been roughly 10 weeks since I mailed them and they still don't have them listed as being received, which is 7 weeks after they recommend I contact them. So, my concern is, have they lost or even received them?

My second issue is that it's very difficult to "contact them" even though that's what their web site says to do.

My third issue is, when finally contacted, I find their process for receiving said documents is severely lacking and my only option is to just wait and hope that they've actually gotten them.

I can't decide to give you a clown a falcon or a smiley face.

How about some commas? Haha

My degree is in Accounting and when I graduated from college the IRS tried to recruit me. They offered me good money and good benefits, but I just could not see myself going to work every day and sitting across from someone that was being audited and know that was the worst day of their year. It was hard as hell not to take their money when I didn't have a job, but I just couldn't do it.

I did ask my Tax professor one day why Tax law was so dang complicated and he told me that I wanted it to be complicated because that gave me job security as an accountant. Best of luck resolving your issues. My father died fighting with the IRS.

This system wasn't developed for you so it's not there to service you. But don't worry, There are many Americans devoted to continuing to vote to ensure that by the off chance you do join the top 1%, it will.

Since you're here complaining, I'm going to assume you haven't been enabling the folks that think tax breaks should be made easy for the rich and confusing for the middle class.

Please stop politicizing posts. @Saint by the Bay hates that.

I dont get your point. I've been in in situations where family income is less than 20k and tax paperwork and deduction were extremely easy. Now that I make a considerable income and own a ranch the tax paperwork is insane.

To explain, I work, wife works, then the income from the ranch.

Actually it’s @Andrus, the founder and owner of the site that makes the rules, not me. Nice try attempting to take a shot at me though. Swing and a miss, but I applaud the effort.

they do some weird stuff and not a whole lot of explanation...i have got 2 random bank deposits from them the past couple of months and my accountant has no idea why...said a letter should arrive some time...i know i already got my tax refund so it is not that...but even my tax rerund got modified by them and added a chunk that is not explained...so i am just putting the money in savings for them cuz i know it is not free money...i dont want to have an issue one day when they come for their money.

Could also make an argument that was calling out moderation which usually comes with a week or two 'vacation' or just outright ban.

Just a reminder for everyone.

About 3 years ago, we got a notice in June that we had not paid our taxes for the previous year and were being assessed penalties/etc. We responded to the notice with a copy of the canceled check that they had received the first week of April. Then in October, we got another letter threatening liens/garnishment/etc. Luckily, wife's brother is a tax attorney that contacted the IRS on our behalf. He said they didn't understand why the letters ever went out, because the issue had been resolved BEFORE THEY SENT OUT THE FIRST LETTER!
