WSJ Your Money Briefing · Where’s My Tax Refund? It Might Be Delayed · 18 Apr 2024 podcast

There's even more information on there where it might say we're missing a document and then you should expect a letter from us. voice-verified

So then in that case, they look out for the letter and you'll likely be able to upload it to the IRS system. voice-verified

So at that point after you've checked out where's my refund and seen if there's any special instructions there, call the IRS. voice-verified

They are answering phones more quickly than they used to. voice-verified

So that's a good sign. voice-verified

Sometimes they'll be able to say the IRS is waiting for you to send in certain information like the missing form. voice-verified

Unfortunately, other times taxpayers are telling me they really, they just, they don't know. voice-verified

Sometimes even the IRS phone representative won't know what's holding it up. voice-verified

No, no, it is a little frustrating. voice-verified

And that I have to say, we had a lot of readers who written in saying they're dealing with these really long refund delays. voice-verified

It's not as bad as it was during the pandemic, but there's still these cases of just super long waits for refunds. voice-verified

So there's an independent office within the IRS called the Taxpayer Advocate Service. voice-verified

There's actually an IRS form called the Form 911. voice-verified

So that you could fill out and then someone from the Taxpayer Advocate Office will help speed up your refund. voice-verified

They won't help everybody. voice-verified

If the IRS has no proof that your return ever got there, they can't help. voice-verified

And then they will say you should basically file a new return. voice-verified

And voice-verified

The taxpayer advocate office, they'll help you if there's a financial hardship or if there's just something clearly like wrong with the IRS systems and you got like caught up in the wheels. voice-verified

So that would be filling out one of these IRS Form 911s and explaining your hardship. voice-verified
