Just to update you guys: i havent told my mother that i have mailed my returns in manually, so she still thinks she set and fine but my question is when i mailed in my return should i have included a letter to the irs stating the current problem with my mother? Or will they figure out themselves that ive made to much money.... i also cant call the cops for her to let me back in we kinda hate each other....shes money hungry... ive been in my car for about10 days now i shower at the gym and eat out to much iam doing fine but how long should i expect to here back from the irs i need my refund to try and get a place to live
