We do well but not over 400k, barely 300 - standard deduction. Wife and I are straight W2 employees. Theres nothing to look at, I guess the 80 bazillion new IRS employees need something to do.

Update - so they owe us 7k, I got a follow up letter today, they arent disputing anything but want us to prove our W2's are real with paystubs and earmings documentation

What a clown show, they basically want to rinse our money another 2-3 months.

this is exactly what it is

we got a letter as well, asking for the same 1099-r forms we already electronically filed. we are getting a refund and they arent happy about it

i would guess its 99.99999999% only republicans getting these letters

I have a feeling I’ll be getting that same letter.

Never been audited even when I owned a commercial property.

It’s coming. Like you, I can give the new IRS fools some work to do as we are in almost the exact position you described.

Did you itemize? Get aggressive on charitable deductions? If not, I cannot understand why you would get audited. Just a complete waste of money be the service.

We got one, too. Received the first letter stating a 90-day review. Found a second letter on my IRS account that I, funny enough, never received giving me two weeks to send in more documentation. I would've missed the deadline had I not been tipped off by a Redditor to check. Failure to send in the additional documentation leads to a deduction in any return, of course. I'm sure the IRS would hate for that to happen.

Standard deduction at 300k? Really?

These things are always sold as “making the rich pay their fair share”, but it’s always the middle and working classes that they go after.

AI plays a lot into it now. What was the notice for? Failure to claim interest, brokerage account you didnt pick up, 1099 that got mailed late etc?

Mailed my check on April 11th and they cashed it on the 16th. Do you think their refunds are quicker than that?

Nowhere near your league. I've been filing extensions since the 2020 tax year. Had crap going on in real life and didn't feel like cutting into my TD shitposting time. Finally got it cleaned up a couple of months ago. Paid for some years, got a credit for others. Whatever. A month after everything was finished, we got multiple love letters from the IRS saying that we still owed basically the amount that was already paid ($11K or so). Hoping it's a computer glitch.

Weird thing was that once my CPA had our returns finished, the IRS and La Dept of Revenue both had their money deducted from my bank same-day. Refunds from both took a good 4 weeks.
