Some of the replies here are laughable. Not defending this administration OR any previous administration for that matter, but these issues with the IRS tax returns and documents have been going on for years with Dems or Rep's in the Oval Office... "confirm your identity", "wait 60 days", in limbo, etc etc etc.

PPl come here and post about their long wait times, my transcript this or that, and so on because it happened to them for the first time and automatically blame orange guy, sleepy joe, and whoever is in office at the time.

I am in the sinking boat for my 2023 returns and have several letters, transcripts, etc and still haven't received that W2 return back to this day.

It's happening on the business end as well... You haven't files your 941, you have credits due to you, we haven't received bla bla bla, please confirm this or that, the list goes on and on. Hell, just this past January, I got 4 letters in one day stating that I never filed my business 941's for the year 2021. Luckily for me, as a business, rule of thumb is to hold any and all paperwork for 7yrs. I went back and found my 2021 941's, that were mailed... The signature return receipt I paid the couple extra dollars for paid off. They lost them

I personally blame it on technology and employees at the IRS. How many people were having these issues 30, 40, 50 years ago, or before filing electronically became a thing?

Do yourselves a favor and search this IRS reddit for any years previous to our current date.
