I dealt with the IRS for months trying to get my refund!! My account was triggered for ID fraud so I had to go to local office to verify my ID then they couldn’t pay my refund via direct deposit due to some internal error so I had to wait for a paper check. The first one got lost and I to do what you did. Finally they cut the second check after I reported the first one lost!

SO MUCH PAIN!!

Now I see why people hate the IRS!
