![]() It was a big relief to speak with a helpful IRS agent immediately after receiving the letter – as the letter’s content & tone were not what I needed, mixed in with today’s Christmas cards! If any of your readers share my situation, I recommend contacting the IRS at your earliest convenience. Once IRS confirms that my 2020 return is processed, I will request a mailed 2020 tax transcript for my records (through irs.gov). The agent also concurred that it would be good to phone IRS again in a few weeks. So I took notes, including the agent’s name and ID #. The agent was unable to send me email or other written confirmation that today’s conversation took place. The agent also confirmed that I will not lose my credit before the IRS processes my 2020 return. The agent then put a note in my file documenting that I contacted the IRS today and that the agent confirmed my 2020 return was received. And in the spirit of the season, automated IRS threat letters are now going out to taxpayers whose returns are waiting to be processed. The agent stated that IRS cashes the checks immediately but they are behind on processing returns. After checking my account, the agent confirmed that the IRS does indeed have my 2020 return but they still have not processed it. But what the Ho-Ho-Ho did they do with it?įortunately I was able to reach an IRS agent this evening ( 7:00 PM CST on December 23) at the 80 number given on the IRS letter (after roughly 10 minutes hold time). So I knew that the IRS actually did receive my 2020 tax return. Note: I can’t e-file because TurboTax chokes on some of the documentation I have to submit with the return. And in March 2021 the IRS cashed the check that I submitted in the SAME ENVELOPE as my 2020 paper form 1040. The credit amount on the letter exactly matches my reported 2020 tax liability. Today I got one of these letters – just in time for my Christmas stocking! The ominous part of the letter reads: ‘If you don’t file your return or contact us, you may lose this credit’.
