I tried to get a transcript of a 1095-A from the IRS. They said they do not have them and that it would have to come from the provider. Besides, once a person dies, the IRS accounts are blocked. If the IRS is requesting it, they say they will do the calculations if they don't hear from you. It usually takes a while, but they will adjust the return.

My browser/monitors have no trouble with that picture. I can clearly see a number of items under it including the quick contact information. If you want the entirety of the links, etc., to be clearly seen with no scrolling - then, yeah, you might want to shrink the picture size a bit. Have you (or has anyone else) checked it on a phone? ...I just did; looks good on a phone, too!

The pay upfront and then apply to get it back has been described above as "byzantine." I couldn't agree more. Outside of it being administratively cumbersome and byzantine, should we succumb to this strategy? Withholding payment is one way to draw attention to IRS mistakes, and if they get the money, it takes all the pressure off them to fix the problem. They already take too much time and often send several 60-day letters. I once received a 60-day letter over a $5.45 CP2000 liability.

It looks great. I do agree with Abby Normal about the size of the picture though. One odd thing that I ran into was that my AV blocked the links shown at the right side of the main page for "More Information" and all of the items under "Helpful Links" with a popup message that a certificate in the certificate chain was expired, but those same pages were perfectly accessible when I used the drop down menu under "Resources" in the heading area.

Spend 30+ minutes on the phone with the IRS on hold - 30 seconds into actually speaking to someone the call is disconnected. That has happened 2x today. grrrrrrrrrr
