How is this even legal? Filed my 1040 and got a letter from the IRS saying I needed to verify using the irs website, while going through the motions it’s asking to use and disclose my biometric data to identify me and requiring me to submit my license.
What are my options here? Am I required to submit? My biggest worry is the implication of things to come by submitting to this forceful hand.
Well they sure as shit haven’t
They lied. It's still going on.
Bullshit, they just give excuses, send letters, ask for more time. 2 years, been waiting for what was due us.
Guess I'm applying for extension.
Go paper, I think that is the only way to beat them at this. Inconvenient for us but inconvenient to them too.
You are right in that is so very wrong. It has to be for nefarious reasons because they have never done it this way before. I think this has more to do with the social credit scoring/tracking system they want to put in place.
Nah illegals use a tax payer id#. At least the ones trying to become not illegals do lol. Makes no difference to them if they have their biometrics exposed because that's the point of doing it the "right" way. They aren't trying to skirt the system if they're paying their taxes.
E-file you won't get that problem! Go to H&R Block and do an online Tax return, you also get a free E-file it's all free. I filed mine last Sunday and got my return back into my bank account the following Sunday! Took a whole 7 days from start to finish and was painless!
I’ve already done my taxes through TurboTax
Did you use the free version of Turbotax? I wonder if this is part of the IRS Free File program and not the pay-to-file versions. I'm about to do mine through TT Premium, so I guess I'll know soon...though they always rob me blind anyway
The government is broke, why else would they delay your refund?
Whatever you owe them for 2021, they're deducting that off your 2020 refund nobodys got yet --
This. Exactly.
I think it's the new thing. I'm filing here shortly so I'll see what Taxact says
Does this mean they won't cash my check to them without my bio metric data??
Because you are their slave.
What is biometric data?
Facial scans, fingerprints, etc
Send the letter back marked "no contract"
Indiana does the same with unemployment benefits.
I had to do it back in August for PA's unemployment that I still never got.
Happened to me several yrs ago ..called local Representative and had my check in 48hrs.
It was 3 months late.
Call them.
Thanks I will try that!
Calling does not work. Lip service, but calls are not received by people who are able to DO anything. Just an answering service.
So i lied?
File by mail
They didn’t need my biometric data before they stole (took my money with threat of force) from me
Resistance is futile, assimilate!
I ran into this too. There are ways around it. You can do a paper filing, which takes forever, but if you have access to all your tax documents from last year, you should be able to fill everything in without going through the authentification process.
I always use H&R Block, and when they asked for my AGI for last year, they gave me the option to get it from the IRS website. That's where I ran into the biometrics. Seemed kind of sus to me, so I dug through my files, found everything from last year, and calculated it myself.
And yes, my return was already accepted. They claim I'll get my return by the first week of March.
Because you are a Conservative. Same reason they never sent money that scheduled to receive. They stall and stall with letters, and nothing results. 2 years still waiting. Though since the IRS building in D.C. has had no one working in it since the plandemic began, I question whether the IRS is even functioning. They never paid tax return money due to millions of people for tax year 2020
I thought I was the only person not to have gotten mine!
