I submitted the 1099a, 1096, 1099 OID, 1040v & 8888 back in May for a beneficiary.  I received a letter from the IRS on 8/18/22 saying they needed an additional 60 days to process.  I called them, was on the phone for over 2 hours.  I first went to the collections dept, the nice lady told me after she reviewed my account, that I needed to be transferred to the refunds department.  I then got another gentlemen on the phone who looked at my account and told me that everything looked good, it looked like I had filed everything correctly for the beneficiary and it was in the payment processing dept for funds to be disbursed they were just running behind.  My 60 days is almost up :) Since then I have also filed a form 15227 to lock my social security number with the IRS.  This stops anyone from using your number without a direct call to you for your pin. It is a way of making the powers that be to push your forms through. I have also learned that you can file a w4, 1040, 1040v with a cover sheet asking the office of the secretary to audit the account and refund you any payments you made.  Because all comes out of our trust account, they have to refund the Federal Reserve Notes you paid!
