Perfect. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And double for the IRS, and triple for the legisvermin in DC! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn1040 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Yesterday, I spoke with the IRS about an amendment that was sent 3/23/2020. IT has finally been worked. I asked about the backlog. The IRS rep told me that they are working on amendments received in April 2020. She had no idea when they would get to the ones sent in June/July! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My client received a refund check in late July about 4 months later. It's like playing a slot machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
