Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Very grateful for the help I got

I called IRS about a mistake I made when I sent in a money order to pay off what I owed for 2022. I had put the wrong year on the money order and the money was put into the wrong account. The women who helped me on the phone was an Angel. I am hard of hearing and she spoke slowly, clearly and loud enough so I had no trouble hearing her. She resolved my problem by explaining every step that she had to do. She took a big weight off of my shoulders. She deserves a raise for her customers service, very kind and professional. Her name is Miss Johnson, her no. Is [protected]. Thank you

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Malacous abuse process for vendictive purposes

IRS is constantly abusing their "powers" of harassment because they are being vindictive.

For example, I call the American Government party to genocide in Gaza, knowing they are supplying WMD to israel to murder babies.

What do you know, suddenly I owe back taxes.

Every few years, they play the same game, because I exercise my right to freedom of speech and criticize the government.

Desired outcome: stop their unlawful harassment and pay for the time, mental anguish, and costs.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Turbotax

I filed my taxes free and online using TurboTax. I do get random income from Antero Resources for royalties. It's tax free supposedly and I pay a little bit of mineral taxes yearly. I get my 1099 from them late.

I had a w4 from one day of work with MaidSafe llc. I got that in enough time to handle some things free. I was supposed to get a 10$ refund but the IRS keeps sending me letters to call a 1-844 number to make an appointment to verify my identification and finish filing. They say I have a 1040 and need to get more assistance with this matter for my 10$ refund. Now, I am in a common law, domestic partnership agreement and we file separately sometimes. It's difficult to deal with sometimes. My partner uses his own accountant. We honestly try. Please make this situation easier to deal with. Stop sending me letters, I am legally a homemaker mostly. I wish this legal agreement with Antero Resources was almost finished too. It's enough by now.

Claimed loss: 10 dollars

Desired outcome: 10 dollars or no more contact

I should correct something that is confusing ,

in Georgia we file separate as Domestic Partners . We simply did not have a wedding even though we have a committed living

relationship . We do have some benefits and

rights but not as far as taxes . I do consider him

my spouse by now and add the name at times .

I think what is common law marriage , in my

opinion is the lack of religious ceremonies .

I love him and am not easily letting go . I just

wish things like this were easier to deal with .

I keep getting spam mail and advertising wanting more information about my identity and to try to get a refund from the IRS to pay for needed health care from healthcare.gov . Turbotax and Intuit never initially specified that they didn't handle some forms freely when they sent the free tax hurry advertisement last year . Now I can begin getting my benefits from possibly the Department of Treasury division of the

Internal Revenue Service helping us with Healthcare. Gov . I don't want my ten dollars refunded if processing my forms means it just isn't free . I don't like scams either . Stop trying to crook people. My spouse better never lose anything either.

Terry Rugg filed 2021 taxes. IRS held it for 3 months, sent it on a card I had, amount too large for card, card co sent money back, after 6 wks called IRS, instead of putting my money on a check and mailing it to me, they told me my taxes were under review. Never sent me a letter letting me know. I called back in 6 weeks, all of 2022 I would call, no one telling me anything about why they don't send my taxes. Each time I called, they said my taxes were under review. Now, 2023, I got an advocate, who tells me to call back in two weeks if I haven't got my refund. I called back 3 weeks, the advocate told me it was under review, call back in six weeks. I said do they have incompetent people doing taxes, they never sent me a letter, they never found a problem with my refund. All they needed to do was mail my check. I told the advocate that I am in hardship, I have to get my refund, I got to move and get another transmission for my truck, I have 30 days to move, please get my refund sent to me. two weeks later , I finally got a letter from the IRS to go show my id. , I ask while I was showing my ID how long will it be until I get my refund, he said 6 wks, I said are you kidding me. , I have two weeks to get my money , I already told the advocant this is an emergency, I was in hardship, that I have to get a tranmission for my truck and find another place to live, If I dont get my money I will be homeless, He said I hope you get it, Its been 3 months since I showed my id . I never got my refund, I am homeless now, and lost every thing I own, including my truck, what go to say to the advocant I am in hardship is an emergency, I need my money now. No one could be careless, no one had any answer as to why they are wrongfully holden my refund, there isn't anything wrong with my taxes, they already reviewed my taxes at the beginning, then when my card co sent my money back, all they needed to do was make a check and send it to me, now 2 years later, I will be contacting my attorney over this, this is unacceptable Holdom my return this long, when there wasn't a problem with them, I called last week, I told them I want answer now, she said its under review, I said it don't take almost 2 years to be under review, I want answers now, I don't want to hear that statement again, she look and she said someone has my case open, never closed your case, as if its still under review, Who ever this person that did this to me, cost me everything I had, I even lost my truck. New owners brought the house, I was renting, because I didn't have the money to repair my truck and find me a place to live. holden it open for no reason, refusing to send my money. I even ask the advocate to send the money over night. Never happen, I am 60 disabled, I lost everything, , I am homeless, I don't have anyone to help me, no family alive to go to. . I was avoided when I said I was in hardship. I informed the advocate in plenty of time. No one had an answer for me,.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] 2019 tax over payment

I am Martin L. Hunter; phone # [protected]; email: [protected]@gmail.com. I was told in September 2022 by a lady working in the department that releases funds that I was due a refund of $1,922. I provided the bank routing # and the bank account #. I was told that it would be 6-8 weeks to process the overpayment. Today (Jan. 06, 2023) I spoke with Mr. Grimes and Mr. Jarraid (sp) regarding the status of the overpayment and Mr. Jarraid said that a special code (?) was placed on the payment. He said he would remove the code and that I will have to wait again for another 6-8 weeks for funds that should have been processed in September 2022.

Desired outcome: I would like that my funds ($1922) are deposited in my bank account by 17 January 2023: Routing #[protected]; Account # [protected].

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Refund

I have for the last 2 1/2 years been trying to get ahold of someone to figure out where my 2018 Federal Tax Refund is. My son was born and I was in NICU fighting for his life for almost a year, then Covid hit. I have called the irs numerous times. Been on hold for hours, just to be hung up on and or transferred and then to another person and to the point you get frustrated and hung up on during process. Tried the website and always got a message stating no info available. I got my taxes professionally done. I feel like this is intentional. Make it as hard as possible so ppl give up because I’m sure there is some sort of statute to get your refund. It’s crazy that the state had no issues but federal has an issue, and that’s the hardest place to contact.

Desired outcome: Would like to receive my federal refund. I received my state but never my federal.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Islamic Center of Glendale - cash not reported and financial violations - Fraud

Hello,

My name is Talal Smadi, my cell number is: [protected] and my email address is [protected]@translateinternational.com. I started attending the prayers and Islamic activities at the Islamic Center of Glendale in May 2018 during the month of Ramadan.

The Director of this center asked me to help them collecting donations. I did not question it at first. In 2019, the director, Abo-Elkheir Serag, asked me to collect $7000.00, in cash only, to pay for the cost of filing a green card for the new Imam to stay and work in the mosque legally. But then I asked him why cash only? He replied that he does not want a record of this. I collected the money and was talking to Imam, Abdelghany Koheif about that donation, and he told me that he is paying $500.00 a month deducted from his salary to pay for his green card. Since then, I started to be alerted and doubtful of of how they are using these donations.

They claimed it's needed to do repairs and remodeling of the Mosque.

We have not seen money spent but only money collected.

I stopped going to that Center since March 15, 2021. I did not feel good about the hundreds of thousands that no one knows where it goes or how much do they keep.

I have asked Mr. Magdy Shweikh, the board member and the assistant of Director, Mr. Serag, to give me taxes filed for the last three years and the financial statements for the mosque and the house that they purchased to generate income for the Mosque by renting that house. They put the house under American Islamic Trust, and rented one room to Imam, Abdelghany for $1000 for last three years and renting the rest of the house to a cleaning lady for $2500.00. All in cash. But what made it a corrupt place is that they deducted the $1000.00 rent from the Imam's pay check and paid him $1000.00 less so he cant prove that he is renting and can't deduct it from his taxes. That's per Abdelghany's statement and others.

I sent an email to Mr Shweikh to send me all financial statements and taxes for the Mosque and the house, but he ignored my two emails in June of this year.

Then I asked a mutual friend, Mohammed Ibrahim to talk to him and see if I can get the financial statements without going to court. I only received two pages of a suggested budget for the year 2019 attached here.

I also asked the director of that center to send me their taxes for the last three years, instead I received a letter saying that they are exempt from filing taxes since they are a Non-profit organization. In the meeting with Mr. Shweikh and Mohammed Ibrahim, he told me that they keep the cash to use it later and they don't have to deposit it in the bank or report it. One board member in Granda Hills stole $2000000 from the Islamic Center there and was arrested.

They invested $250.000, in Fidelity Investment Bank. No one in the Mosque knew about this or ask for any financial documents. He will be banned from coming to the Mosque. Mr. Shweikh told Mohammed that they don't trust me so they are not going to give me anything.

I know, in many incents, Mr. Haneef, a worshipper, was donating big amounts of cash and in thousands, bringing a paper bag to the mosque and they never report that. Two witnesses were present. If they are exempt from filing taxes and they don't show their financial statements to anyone asking for it, how do we know where the donation goes? I donated and collected thousands of dollars in the last 4 years and I have the right to know why they keep that cash and not report it? They refused to talk to me or surrender any records.

I filed form 3949A in June of this year and never heard back from anyone.

Desired outcome: I want an investigation conducted about this Establishment.This money could be a Homeland Security issue if the money is sent to terrorist overseas.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Assistance with an IRS bill

I received a bill from the IRS for over $340k and knowing that I couldn't truly owe that much I enlisted the assistance from OPTIMA Tax Relief. This was for 2018 laxes and they said they would help after I paid them $16k.

This was all going on in 2021 and I fulfilled my part of the requests OPTIMA needed and I heard nothing. I sent a letter in June of 2021 to the IRS and asked for some assistance and information. In April of 2022 I received a call from the IRS asking to review my 2018 return. While on the phone with an IRS agent, the request for over $340k was settled and reduced to $42.37!

When talking to OPTIMA Tax they wanted to assist with other years tax returns, which have not had any problems, I informed them that I would like a refund since they hadn't done anything to assist. They informed me they don't refund and apparently would not do anything for my $16k deposit. I only wanted half of the money, since they are a business, but they have not returned any of my requests (mail or phone).

This is a scam business and I'm not sure they do anything for their money or for people needing help.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a refund of $8,000 and this notice flooded on their website, so people know they are crooks.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] IRA Refund withheld

Filed 2017 taxes informed that it contained an error without specification. I reviewed it and submitted a 1040X. I had paid in $3,400 and expected a $2,792 refund but, I never received it. I continued to request a meeting or a clarification as I had only $20,000 of taxable income in 2017. In 2019 I filed my income taxes and expected a $1,640 refund but, the IRS withheld the refund over the 2017 taxes. In 2020, I again filed my income taxes and expected a $2,902 refund but, the IRS withheld the refund over the 2017 taxes. At this time I had over 20 letters and received form letters to my inquiry. I never received a detailed outline of the IRS reasoning for the 2017 tax.

My gross wage in 2017 was $17,000 and I had paid in $3,400 and expected $2,792. My 2019 expected refund of $1,640 and in 2020 expected refund of $2,902, for a total of $7,334.

Therefore, under my math, the IRS is taxing me $7,334 on gross wages of $16,000.

The IRS will not give me a meeting only form letters.

Desired outcome: A meeting with an IRS agent so that we can do math.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] IRS Communication

Can the IRS please answer the phone. Can they answer the phone and not hang up on you. I see the wait time should be 13 minutes for tax season and 19 otherwise. This is not true. Every time I call they are too busy to answer my call. If they do answer 9 out of 10 times I get hung up on. If I do not get hung up on then they will transfer me and then again get hung up on. I do not believe there is that many IRS reps that cannot work a phone correctly. So many automated letters that get sent out with phone numbers that go no where.

Also the IRS offers the Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP)for tax preparers. They state if you get your AFSP record of completion as a tax preparer then you will have limited representation rights before the IRS for clients whose tax returns you have prepared and signed after December 31 2015. First of all IRS reps do not know what this is, second they will not accept it and third they will then say they cannot see the tax return to see the tax preparers name on it? There is so much wrong with this. What is the point of this program if the IRS reps will not abide by it? And how can an IRS rep help anyone if they cannot even see the tax return? This makes me very uncomfortable talking about personal information to reps that clearly have no knowledge. I understand the tax code is very complex and you cant know everything. However the reps seem to know next to nothing.

Desired outcome: Better communication. Answer the phone. Hire knowledgeable staff. Be clear about the AFSP if you are unwilling to give tax preparers representative rights, limited or not at all.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Keep Getting Hung Up By I.R.S. Last Two Times I've Called

I called I.R.S. 800 number to find out if my Amended 2020 1040 has been finally processed since I sent it almost nine months ago. Was on the phone for an hour and a half on 8/19/22 when finally got a hold of someone. Told the I.R.S. woman if she could slowly say her I.D. since I got cut off by I.R.S. two weeks ago without hearing I.D. when trying to resolve if tax taken care of. Woman snottily gave her I.D. a second time and then I was telling her the tax problem, when I was cut off in mid sentence. Only heard silence and repeated if I was still on the line to realize that was no one responding. I.R.S. better use all the new hiring practice for new agents because ones in charge or either incompetent or plain nasty. I wasted about three hours of my time by calling twice to different I.R.S. agents, only to not get a answer.

Desired outcome: What is the problem with I.R.S. agent #[protected] leaving me in mid sentence without any clue about disconnecting me?

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Tax Practitioner Hotline

Now I understand why it takes us weeks to get through to the Tax Practitioner Hotline.

I am presently on a call with a Mr. Taylor, [protected]. Pending receipt of my digitally faxed 2848, Put on 5 min hold, then another 5 min hold to review the faxed 2848, then after giving my social security number and date of birth, put on 5-10 min hold.

C-mon we can do better. At this rate, because I have two more clients, I could be on the phone for an hour. It appears these agents are working from home and don't have immediate access to a supervisor of Lead to guide them until they become proficient. To his credit, he was very polite, courteous, and professional - just slow due his repetitiveness.

My call begin at 13:37 PST and just ended at 14:36 PST. I requested to speak with a supervisor and now he is seeing if one is available. This has been an arduous experience. To no surprise, at 14:43 PST he advised me no supervisor was available!

Desired outcome: We need the reps to review the material while they stay on the call after receipt of the documents. I wish there was an automated means by which Enrolled Agents could transcripts to their SOR's

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] The IRS Key in Operations Manager Nina Bolin

The IRS Fresno CA Key in Manager Nina Bolin took another tax payors 1040x

for 2017 and filed it to our account. That undid the fix that TAS had just worked

so hard for . t also has caused us a bunch of major headaches and denied refunds and seizure's of our state refunds all being incorrect. TAS wont reopen

the Case because I sent in the feedback survey with a Negative which TAS

had coming for the major headaches in getting a case open. I had to use my senators office staff to get that done and TAS never contacted us 1 time. It was

all done thru the senators office staff. There retaliating against us and I believe

the Tax return 1040 X that was applied to our account was the first in many

retaliation's . I am a protected class and need this fixed.

Desired outcome: Fix our taxes for 2017 2018 get our state refund that the IRS took back for us.

Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Refunds

You first say 6 weeks on paper filed returns now you say 6 months. Well we filed in March and you still haven’t sent ours and if we were late you add interest daily so it’s been over your own 6 week date so are you paying us interest now as you should. I don’t believe Covid has any more cause for delays you are just being the sorry poorly run government agency you are. Get off your butts and back to work. I have called every congressman I can You do not have as valid reason for delays!

Desired outcome: Pay us now with interest
