[QUOTE="SKATA, post: 4272943, member: 53653"] I had an issue with IRS this year. Since we have limited income, we can now file electronically. For some unknown reason, the IRS wiped out the taxes we paid. Then sent me a letter demanding $$$ that we owed. It was more than my income! It took me a couple of weeks, three different people. The first two said the computers were down and they couldn't help me. The third person was sick with covid but recognized the problem and fixed it. I couldn't thank her enough. Two months later we received the determination letter. If you sign up in the IRS system, there is an area called "transcripts". It is a detail of hundreds of lines for the 1040. Of course it is all electronic and if someone types something incorrectly, then it will create an issue. You can discover where the error is through the transcripts. I have always done my own taxes because it was part of my accounting degree program. If your income is low enough, then you can file electronically. I tested a few sites two years ago, IRS approved of course, but found them to be a click bait. I now have a "free" service, IRS approved, and we have received our refund eight days of filing. Unheard of from the past 50 years of filing. But I figured since the IRS approves those sights, the IRS formulas are in place and you can get a faster refund. [/QUOTE]
