You can call your representative in Congress and they could provide constituent services. Another option is to contact the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate in the IRS, they have probably fielded a lot of similar complaints given the IRS’s backlog. The Advocate’s role is to assist taxpayers when having troubles with the IRS bureaucracy.
The Advocate’s Office has some really great people in it. They helped me clear up a huge past-due filing fee bill for a small PTA that failed to file returns for years. I rebuilt their books and filed on their behalf to stop the bleeding, then went to battle with the IRS.
Literally, the young lady there saved them from losing all the money the PTA had raised for things like books, trips, the Science Expo, and after school club support.
I thought Uncle Sam was going to grab it all, some $16,000.
Word to the wise, every corporation needs to file a tax return, even non or not for profits. Every day your return is late, fines accrue.
After I got them straightened out, they never missed the deadline again.
Thank you. I will begin doing that. I didn’t, for some oversight on my part, even think of that.
