The last guy I spoke to before the most recent IRS representative actually said he would get me to the injured spouse department and then admitted he is not sure where the phone call actually goes but at least he was nice and trying to be helpful, then the girl that answered tells me everyone's check was taken because of a computer error (on website and widely known -duh) like she informed me of something HUGE that I did not know and then the processing time if you sent a 8379 form in (again on website and already KNEW THAT, but thanks.)
Spoke with a representative on the phone this evening who said "I'll transfer your call" then changed her mind, then proceeds to waste 1 HOUR and 20 MINUTES of my time, put me on no less than 6-7 times for 7 minutes each each time comes back and repeats information k I already knew before I called. First of all, these representatives need better training in actually listening to what people want instead of wasting their time - why would I call to hear you repeat information I already know? Then she has the nerve to get rude and condescending - in hindsight I guess she was trying to make it make sense to her why she has me on hold 6-7 times for 7 minute intervals because she has to look up procedures when she should have transferred me in the first place, actually had the nerve to offer to transfer me after 1 hour 20 minutes - said we have to eat dinner now and hung up. These people do not seem to know squat and there is no department to set up to actually help.
Please, everyone affected should file a LAWSUIT. These is unacceptable - they should at least train their representatives better or actually have a department that KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON with the injured spouse claims to speak to, who can verify receipt, approval, and if someone is processing it. Wasted so much time on hold trying to get answers when nobody there can help.

However if you click on to one of their embedded e-file options, now privatized, you are probably not filing any returns, but instead just giving these companies all of your personal information.
I chose ezTaxReturn for my simple return and went through a "walkthrough" of questions and answers on the form. It took about 20 minutes.
Afterward I received repeated emails saying, "File Your Taxes. File From The Safety of your Own Home"
What? That's what I just did a week and a half ago! You know, like when you go to H&R Block.
So frustrating. I feel like a fool.
I provided all of my personal information, SSA number, address, finances, and I accomplished Nothing.
I waited for 45 minutes and finally got someone on the phone. IRS.gov did absolutely nothing to help. When I mentioned the status screen from irs.gov and that it gave me a reference number, he acted like he had never heard of such a thing and never even asked me to repeat it to him. I had previously entered my mother's information into to the phone before I got through to an agent and of course, I had to give all that to him again.
He asked for my name. I told him my name and that I was her son and the one who filed her taxes and I simply needed to change where her refund is mailed. I explained she was deceased, which it will clearly show on her return. All he told me was that I wasn't authorized on the account. I asked who needed to call and he said he couldn't tell me because I wasn't authorized on the account. That is all he offered.
So, I guess the IRS is running a scam where if you file taxes for a dead relative and the check is mailed back for whatever reason, they will keep the tax return.
- It is obvious, by the fact the return was mailed back, the return needs to go to a different address.
- The check will be made out to my mother, so all we can do is deposit it into her estate account.
- So to just keep the check and refuse to send it to the correct address is ridiculous and criminal.
- The status screen at irs.gov said absolutely nothing about an "account" or having to be authorized on it.
Only options are to write a letter and hope they respond or sit on the phone for another 45 minutes and demand a supervisor. This is not what paying taxes should be like. It's a childish nightmare every year having to deal with this worthless organization.
Second, the estimated wait time was 30-60 minutes, I was on hold for 100 minutes, only for them to transfer me to another estimated 30-60 minute wait.
Third, this is the 5th time I've called in 5 months since IRS.gov ERRONEOUSLY intercepted my refund and each time I've called these "agents" do not understand what is wrong with my account and have said that the refund check will be sent out in 4 weeks and to check back then. I have yet to receive my refund check and it has been 5 months since my first request.
This system is inadequate, to say the least, and I have diminished respect and faith in the IRS system and believe that there are crooks in charge who take advantage of the American people's money.
IRS needs to figure there Sh*t out cause it appears the place is ran by unqualified people.
