Internal Revenue Service [IRS]

The irs did an audit on me back in 2017. , i did not recive my tax refund for that year that was about $ 2800. 00 they said that i was single, , and did not have a child, they took the head of household credit and the child income credit away. I send them prove and everthing they ask for. , ! School records, / birth certificates of my child / bills with my name on them, to show that i was the head of household. ! This went on for 5 more years, never recived a dime from them. !, i have filed my taxs forms the same way each year to this day i still file the same way i did back in 2017 they have kept my money if i caculated all my money that was due to me through out those years it would be about 25, 000. 00 dollars. ! One check that i remeber was for $4800. 00 they kept that one too. Till the year 2017 is when i started to recive my refunds. , my tax preparer did what she could, i even went to the main tax office. I could not beat them, and i gave up,. ! Its probally to late for me to do anything anymore,. ! I still think that money is due to me. ! And for the gov. To come around and take my money, that i worked so hard for all these years, is not fair at all. ! I hate to say this! Uncle sam has rip me off ! And i think he should pay me back plus interest. ! What do you think?

I've been trying to get this move/up repeat buyer tax credit. I built our new home myself.Therefore no contract. Had all permits and sent the copies to I R S w/ 5405.There was a completion date and a letter by the county showing such, with values and an explanation that this county does not issue a certificate of occupancy per say. I built this place myself with my own money(no mortgage).They've sent three letters so far denying our claim and asking for the same info each time. I guess nobody ever really reads the letters we send. This time I have 15 days to appeal their decision. Need some good advice to get this back on track.

I bought my home in May 2017 and filed my taxes late just to include the homebuyer credit with it. So, I filed my 1040 and Homebuyer credit and a few weeks later I got a letter saying I owed them money. I sent a check in and they cashed it. I called and asked the status of my Homebuyer credit and they said they never received it. WHATEVER! So, I mailed it again and it didn't reach them until Aug'10. I called in Nov'10 and this lady said I should receive a letter because they have questions. I never received the letter and called Dec'10. This lady said there was never a problem and it's still being processed. I called later that month (because everytime I call they say something different) and I told this person that I've waited my 16 weeks and where is it? She said "oh, someone from that dept. has to call you or send a letter...do not call back until 30 days". As of Wednesday, it's been 30 days and I haven't heard a peep. I am so disgusted with IRS. They were uick to bail out the banks, but can't give us the money they promised. UGH! It's been 8 months since I filed my original Homebuyer credit and counting...

I also closed on my house in May 2017...brought my information to my account same day and file my amended taxes. August i received a letter stating i didn't sign a page. i sent signature back in August and called every week since...this is the 18th week since they received my signature and the best responce i received from anyone was they are still reviewing it. funny how if you owned the I.R.S over 8000.00 they would sent a man in a gucci suit to seize all your assets but they best i got so far was studdering Steve who doesn't understand the difference between a pen and pencil! This first time buyer rebate is a the biggest lie. Someone needs to refund our money back now and stop this.

Same here... Purchased home in May 2017, so far have received two letters saying they are processing and will let me know in 30 days. My most recent call to the IRS was a joke! The person I spoke to put me on hold several times (I'm sure she was filing her nails or eating snacks.), finally comes back to the phone and acts confused like she doesn't know what's going on! Then asks that I call another number and extension for more information. This is pitiful! IRS should pay us interest on our $8000 for holding it so long! 7 months and still nothing!
Mr. Obama, your First-Time Buyer rebate is a crock of bull!

Us too. Bought new home 11/2017. Was qualifed for the $6500. Filed annual taxes in Feb 2017. Got Federal tax back but never home tax credit as promised. Began the letter cycle of "please submit, this and that"..Called monthly, on hold for 45mins to be told "its being processed". Was told due to the amount of paper work that I sent in, it appeared we were filing a duplicate refund therefore flagged as FRAUD! I was given an invesgigator, who you cant reach. Continued to call and STILL NOTHING! I too had planned to stimulate the economny with my money to buy furniture and privacy fence. And family vacation which was not taken due to limited funds. I give up! My husband is going to our congressman to put some pressure on them. IRS if you say your gonna help the people then PAY UP or shut up!

The IRS was given broad license this Spring by the Fed to eliminate as many, any legitimate tax filer claimants, regardless.The Gov doesn't have the money and has started a SECOND rebate program, intentionally NOT investigating the FRAUD IN THE IRS, let alone paying out filers in full for the past two years.
Get a broad based tax specialist lawyer, sue for your rebate, the interest, the legal fees and any special damages. Keep on posting what the IRS does in their 'any' efforts to block your refunds.
Typical denial letters sent to many of us(I've read online extensively) that are common include preludes of denial such as "we don't have your current address"(but SOMEHOW the letter got mailed to where you live?); you owned a home previously(yeh, back in the 1980's-I'm still scratching my head over that one!).
Persist, put the PRESSURE on IRS, and give their mal-intented 'program' the works.
IRS=DEFRAUDULENT, UNBUSINESS LIKE 'SERVICE'!

The IRS is a bad joke. The excuses they give are like a child's. "The dog ate my homework" Six of the famous, Thirty Days letters not one penny of the $8, 000. I have yet to find a person who has collected, not ONE !

I too. As a matter of fact to the letter. Every Thirty days another letter saying...another Thirty days ! I have six of them now.

I am suffering a similar problem. They obviously don't want to pay up. I have a highly qualified Tax specialist handling my case and they are still stonewalling

The recording said, "You are being sued by the IRS. Please return a call to this number." [protected].

I did not call them back. I called my local police department because there had been something about this on our local TV stations in the recent past. The Police Department gave me this web address and told me to fill out a complaint.

I was going to e file with the IRS but they say theres a fee for e file

Okay folks, I see most of you filed for the first-time home-buyer's credit in 2009 or some in 2010. I filed in 2008 when it first came out and I bought my first home moving to CO from MO. Three years later, I receive a notice from IRS telling me I didn't qualify for this credit and now they are charging me for penalties and interest. Naturally, I haven't the entire $7500 I was given as I did some home repairs with the money on my new home. If I make payments, they will charge me interest. Now mind you, they are charging me three years worth of interest, since 2009 when I received the credit, and a penalty that is currently amounting to around $1800! I do qualify but they are trying to use a house I got by default through a divorce settlement that I NEVER purchased against me. I'm working through the taxpayers assistance service and the woman told me a whole bunch of people are in the same boat as I but most of them is due to houses they inherited! This is a scam the gov't is using on us U.S. abiding taxpying citizens to make money. I so regret ever applying for this credit now, truly! I have learned that I will never apply for any gov't monetary aid that is supposed to help us citizens ever again. I will probably be fighting this battle for years and potentially have to hire an attorney. It is not right that they gave me the money, approved me for it, then three years later tell me I didn't qualify and charge me penalties and interests! The stipulations on this first-time home-buyers credit is not clear and is very deceptive. I've even paid the first $500 installment on my 2010 taxes, after the two year grace period given, and the IRS has not even acknowledged that I made the first installment. Now all I want to do is get this $7500 paid back to them as quick as possible but I do not feel I owe a penalty or interests when I am truly a first-time home-buyer. This is a nightmare. Once the IRS audits you and comes after you, they are after you for LIFE! It's like being put in prison or having a death sentence hanging over your head. So you people who have not received the credit yet, maybe that is a blessing to you. I personally would recommend that you don't accept the credit at all.

My daughter and son-in-law are still waiting for their rebate, almost one year. They did everything on time, submitted paperwork three times, now they are told they are denied, missed the deadline. Absolutley, not true. So, they are submitting paperwork again (fourth time). Also, they were told they owe a hefty fine of $1900. with no explanation, this is a mistake and the agent saw this, but, what a scare! What can we all do. My kids will get involved, but, think it is fruitless. In the meanwhile, they are doing everything they can in dealing with the government.

We recieved the tax credit in 2008 because we needed to boost the cash flow to remodel the house for sale. We lived there for 3 years and then Obama got elected and our house was worthless at that point. The only solution was to let it go into forclosure and wait 7 years and get another home. Now, here it is 2011 and the same government that gave us the money now wants us to pay it back and that is ok with me except my tax refund this year is delayed by 45 days because of a 250 dollar payment that is due off my taxes. They decided this paperwork change 1 week ago and they are causing me to miss out on an oppourtunity to move my family to a state that has plenty of customers for my business. The government needs to do that crap in the second quarter and not the first...idiots. DO NOT GET THE DAMN CREDIT NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS NOT WORTH THE 15 YEARS OF BULL YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH!

We have bought our house in February 2010 and have claimed our credit on 2009 return. IRS has sent us a letter that we don't qualify because we claimed property tax and interest for other properties on our returns. I wrote them back that those were rentals from day one, we never lived there. I list them as rental on all of our tax returns. Then they demanded proof that we actually bought a house this year. I sent them more supporting documentation from the County, bank etc. They seemed to have agreed, sent us a letter that we don't owe anything. Now they sent me another letter saying that the lease agreements on the rentals don't list me as a landlord, but have a property manager name, therefore they now want me to pay the credit+penalties. As if that makes any difference whose name is on the lease agreement - I still didn't live there in the last 3 years, as there are other people who live there, according to the lease agreement. The rentals are in a different State, we have never claimed to have lived in that State as a primary residence - all of our tax returns show a California address. I will call them again, but this is really ridiculous. Even on their own website they give a scenario where a person who had a primary residence decided to rent it out and move into a rental herself, and they conclude that she is qualified for First Time Buyer Credit because she didn't live there in 3 years. Hell, I have NEVER lived in those rentals myself, but they give me a hard time...

Let me know if you get into any class action suit against the IRS.

My husband and I used the 2nd time home owner’s tax credit. The home needed work and had not even had the final inspection or a Certificate of Occupancy. We have just got the CO and home completed, now the IRS is revoking the tax credit given to us because they feel we did not occupy the home in a reasonable amount of time. Time limits are not documented they stated, that is just the way they feel about the situation. Is this far? Can you fight the IRS? Would it do any good? The bad thing is, yes it took a few months to complete the home, but my husband is Military and gone most of the time working for the Government. I think this tax credit was to stimulate the economy, but they lied about the tax credit just to get us to buy. Just another way for them to screw us!

Get an IRS TAS agent.My TAS agent UNDERSTOOD, it took four more months after she received all my information all over again, and more the IRS requested, but I got a partial refund(they still owe me) in odd dollars and odd cents.
I had to use the TAS from one of the slowest IRS intake agencies in the country, San Franciso, as this where my return was originally submitted to. But the IRS would NEVER have sent me my FHBS check. I am grateful to Barbara, TAS agent, San Franciso but bitter and enraged at the IRS and this administrations lies about the stimulus refunds. Time to vote those big money 'wigs' out of DC coming very, very soon.
Good luck, sorry your husband passed away. I know it is difficult for you in every way, and with the kids. Collect everything you can, for their will be a lack of refunds, jobs, food, housing for a long, long time to come.

i purchased my home March 23, 2010. I filed my amended tax return the first week of April 2010. (understanding that i may be one of the ones who are audited because my husband passed away in August 2009, so my filing status will change this year.) after not hearing anything for 3 months, i phoned the IRS. the representative informed me that they required more information and that they sent a letter in June (which i did not receive). so, with the information they required sent off in the mail, i waited again. on August 17, 2010 i received another letter saying that the IRS required more time to review my claim and that i would hear something in 45 days. i called 2 weeks ago and got a very RUDE representative who stated that she was unable to give me any information regarding the progress of my claim and that i shouldn't call anymore because they already sent the letter explaining that they required 45 more days. she basically told me that if i wanted to change anything, i should vote differently. i laughed at her and hung up the phone. so... here i wait, reading responses from others who are in the same boat, becoming increasingly frustrated by the day. being a single parent, home owner and full time employee (of the federal government, nonetheless...) this payment could be a big help to me for childcare and clothing for my kids. instead, i fear that i will never see this money as long as i'm alive.

I am 22 and just graduated college . I managed to work full-time, go to school and pay for my car, insurance, ect...

I decided to live with my parent to save money while I was in college. Because I was a student and living with my parents I was filed as a dependant and will not receve a stimulus check even though I made well over the required rate. When I look at the other people and other situation where a check is recieved, I feel denied my hard earned money. For example, someone who is uneducated, economicly unstimulating, and living of unemployment barly made $3, 000 a year will recieve a stimulus check. But a college student who lives at home will not. Receving the stimulus check would help me and other students pay for student loans, which would actually help stabalize the economy.

I have worked very hard for the last 20+ years I just got layed off you saying I don't deserve a stimulus check.
Why don't you apply for a grant to pay off your student loan?

My husband and I are both legal citizens and qualified for the stimulus rebate. Guess who got it, though? His ex-wife. She already collects a huge monthly check from him, plus we carry medical insurance for their children that we can't afford, while she doesn't pay anything, and her husband makes more in a month than I make in a year, but hey, the government thought she needed the money more than us. How is that supposed to encourage us to spend?

I filed for the stimulus, but was told that I didn't have enough income and I had over a thousand dollars pension well aboved the 3000 mark. How do I get in touch with the right party THANKS Calvin

They have failed to consider the fact that so many legal people also use ITIN's. It is like shooting everyone with a beard/headgear whether terrorist or not - now, isn't that hare-brained

About that Economic Stimulus check

When Our President pushed for every American to receive an economic stimulus rebate check he lied, but hey, where is the surprise in that! Our President made the address and statement encouraging everyone to file for their 2007 federal income taxes to be eligible to receive their stimulus rebate check and the media then followed up to reaffirm the announcement. However this has turned out to be not so true especially for those whom had collected unemployment in 2007. I call this the Un-fair act or should I say Bush whacked because even though Congress approved it is still George W Bush who signed it. I made just under 8, 000 for 2007 but because I collected and went through my unemployment benefits which was just over $5, 000 I am being told that I am not eligible according to the IRS and Congress and this information was discovered after I contacted Representative Tim Mahoney’s office and spoke to his constituent liaison in Port Charlotte who had me fax my taxes to him through a release authorization, who’s office put me in touch with an IRS advocacy group who in turn investigated the circumstances. And finally it was Kathleen Mulgrave of the IRS advocacy group who contacted me with the information and unfortunately she didn’t offer any suggestions. I again spoke to Jay Malsky the Constituent Liaison for Congressman Tim Mohoney whom I pushed into giving me an email link http://www.thomas.gov/ and phrases to research information “economic stimulus payment” or “economic stimulus act”.
However after going to the site and typing in the information given I discovered why so many people might become frustrated with the system itself and give up trying to fight back. Because when they are given links from the organization that presumably are trying to help them the information they find can only be read by lawyers because of the way it is outlined, talk about Holy Manipulation.
I then contacted someone I am familiar with at the Charlotte County Behavioral Health Center. She told me that she has clients that have collected all of their unemployment benefits and have received their stimulus check.
I am being penalized on a bogus excuse relating to my unemployment

Now I'm being told I won't get my stimulus check because I owe for a federal student loan that's not even in default! Well, I'm going to pursue it until I get a satisfactory answer!

I think its a bunch of bull. Like a car dealership. "You could get payments as low as 88 dollars a month!" But you go waste you time for it to be something like 300 dollars a month. The government should have cut the crap and been like "Youll get 300 a person. You could get more depending on hoe much taxes you paid last year." Instead of "Yeah! youll get 600 dollars!" I dont know of anybody that actually got 600 dollars myself.

Become a citizen. Quit harboring illegals . If you did these things you would have got a Stimulus Check.

You use bad logic. Not everyone who is "uneducated" is economically unstimulating. School is for some but you live at home. My father is "uneducated" but is also worth 4 million investing in real estate and never went to college. The school thing is often a fallacy. Unl;ess your becoming a medical doctor or nurse or teacher dream on about being better then us...
