Damnit, I never got to go here. Stupid not having a job for 10 years and missing my chance to go to Japan for 3 weeks for cheap in 2005.... 

Yes, it’s frustrating for us, too, to have to keep pushing you forward.  For a while, it was pretty chaotic.  Most of our sections are back in now, and we’re working through the backlog.  We were getting over a million pieces of mail a day while being out for 9 weeks.  Not to mention all the issues generated by…

Call the general line. Speak with Accounts. Some notices don’t have numbers because they either don’t require an action from you, or they don’t have a contact number.

Call the main line, and select the Accounts department.  It might take a bit, and a few tries, but that’s the best information I can give you.

There may be an issue with the return.  A lot of folks who had Marketplace insurance didn’t include that information (Because several popular filing programs saw the SRP was suspended so just left that info out, even though the Premium Tax Credit still needs to be rectified) check in with us if it’s been that long for…

Right now, income verification is backed up, because a lot of those never got started before we left.  I would suggest calling.  You can use the number that goes out on our notices for individual taxpayer (800-829-0922), gets you out to a person faster.  But remember, we’re still on limited staffing as well.  We hope…

I think it does now.  When they changed some of the departments particular coverage around, that number got re-directed.  Best to try the number for individual taxpayers on notices (800-829-0922) if you can’t get the main line to work.  Jumps the first few steps of the automated system.

Call us.  Many folks who were supposed to get stimulus payments did not due to either an error (Listed as dependent on a return or accidentally said they could be claimed as a dependent on a non-filer return) and we are working on programming to fix it, but we need to know if that’s your situation.  So we’ll need to…

Depends on why I’m playing. Some games (Elder Scrolls games, Fallout, Hitman) I will play on both the regular and highest difficulty. Others I play (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Pokémon, old 8 bit games, Mario games) only have one difficulty.  Besides, life has enough of a wack game balance that I really don’t always…

People still call.  And if WMR specifically tells you to call, it usually means there’s an issue, and you should call.  Paper returns are still backed up, but we’re getting caught up.

When it asks you for your reason for calling, if you are still getting a “Return Processing” message from WMR, chose the “Other Account Question”. It should route you into either the screener or directly to General Accounts. Please note that the actual name of the option may be a bit different, I haven’t had a chance…

If you’re wondering, yes, we are on the phones. The problem is that we’re also on limited staffing. And with some of the interim regulations in place, it’s not a cakewalk. Also, don’t find a random number on the website/internet and call it.  You’re likely to either get A) The appointment line (Some TAC offices are…

It’s pretty easy to request an IA or 120 day fullpay extension. If you file the return and then realize you can’t make the payment, call. It’s going to be a wait, we’re still not all back in the offices, but we can still do it. As for setting up online, that’s even faster, but some people cannot do it because the…

The problem with that is that employers still report wages to us.  And the system will alert if you have enough wages to have a filing requirement and owe.  If you have a refund, you lose out on it if you don’t file.  It also causes problems when you do finally file.  It is best to file returns on time.  And if you…

Also note that your loan account number has to start with an E. If it Starts with a D or other letter, you do not qualify for the forbearance.  I just checked and I don’t qualify, so I have to keep paying.

HONK!

Field Audits are ones that are done with more of you going to a particular person. Correspondence audits you get a letter, send back documentation, and the Exam department reviews your documents, requests additional information if needed, and then makes a decision. Field audits are often more intensive on the IRS end, …

Toyota RAV4. 2008 - 2011 area. I have a 2008 RAV 4 that I’ve been driving since 2011, it’s probably worth $3000 right now, and the dealership at my last visit wanted to buy it off me for the used lot. If I could swing a car payment right now, I would have done it. Mine has just over 166K miles on it, and it’s a 4 cylin…

Just buy cheap painter’s tarps and roll the body up in them after the murder. Or just vaporize the body. Really, a large bore laser can solve a lot of cleaning problems.

See, the easiest way to do this is pick up an arm or leg that you shot off the enemy, then smack them with it. Also, laser blast to the face usually solves anything.
