IRS overdue tax refund

By Terry Savage on February 07, 2025 | Wild Card

Hi Terry, Enjoy listening to you on WGN.
I am contacting you on behalf of my 87 yr old mother who is wanting some help getting her 2023, ($3600) tax refund. IRS has sent her (3) 60 day delay notices so far (last year). For decades she has had the same accountant do her taxes who politely says the IRS is behind. This has become unacceptable to her. Any thoughts? Thanks Terry

You should get some details on why there is a delay. If that doesn’t make sense to you, then you can contact the office of taxpayer assistance. You might want to file this form:
