Q) I received a letter saying that i hadn’t filed my 2013 and 2015 returns. They put the amounts owed for each year and said not to do anything if i agreed with the amounts they would apply them to my 2018 tax return on may 8th 2019. However its almost July and ive not yet received a adjustments letter or the rest of my federal refund which was over 5000$ after they do the offset.. What am i to do i need this badly as im low income father of 3 alone.?
A) I understand that you are concerned about your tax refund and that you need the money urgently. Here are some things you can do:
- Check the status of your refund. You can use the IRS Where’s My Refund tool to check the status of your refund.
- Contact the IRS. You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to speak with a representative.
- File your 2013 and 2015 tax returns. If you have not filed your 2013 and 2015 tax returns, you should file them as soon as possible.
- Apply for a hardship withdrawal from your retirement account. If you have a retirement account, you may be able to apply for a hardship withdrawal. This is a loan that you can take out of your retirement account to pay for unexpected expenses.
- Apply for a government loan or grant. There are a number of government loans and grants available to help low-income families. You can find information about these programs on the website of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
