so last sept my wife and I purchased our first home and of course we filled an amendment to get the 8k tax thingy. well we sent it off a week after our neighbors did and they got theirs back about a month ago. so I decided to call last month. Lets just say thats a mess all by itself.
they have an 800 number but its all automated and you cant get a real person on the line. I finally find a different number but you have to figure out the right combination of prompts to do to get a person. dont even push the number to check the "status" of your return or it fowards you back to the origional number which is only good for your origional tax return not the amendment.:bash:
so anyways I get a lady on the line and she says they received my paperwork oct 6th and it was being reviewed and I should see it no later then jan 6th. well I decided to call yesterday and of course have to figure out the right combination again. I get a guy real fast this time and I say I need to check the status of my amendment so he fowards me. another guy answers and he said "why did they foward you to me, I just do forms, not check status" so I get forwarded again. I get the recording, "your wait time is expected to be over 15 minutes" 36 minutes later I finally get a person for him to only say my claim is at investigations. Huh?
seems there has been a ton of fraud so they are sending more people to investigation. so add another 2-4 weeks on.
he asked if I had received any paperwork from the irs, I said no. he said well there shouldnt be any issue then and you should see it in 2-4 weeks. but last nite I was thinking that my county tax office sent me a letter with all kinds of questions in it that I felt looked shady since they should know all those answers already, so I shredded it. so how bad did I "F" up? will they just set there and wait for that letter to come back to them or send another one? just getting sick of waiting on this money to come in.:fm:
