Sharing here 1st for forum friends - & with you specifically as an IRS retiree. If you host a thread on $7500 tax credits - I'll contribute.

January 6th this year the IRS sent me a notice that I'd transferred the vehicle $7500 credit to a dealer! No - I hadn't so I emailed the IRS email they gave me 3 times - but no response. I also called the IRS 2 times and postal mailed them 2 times.

I like the IRS website My Account - not interactive though. So - I E-filed my taxes in February after all investment forms were with me - IRS accepted it and a $7500 credit.

However - no real confirmation by the IRS - and two of their online digital forms had the $7500 as tentative. Last week the IRS email account - sent me 'I don't have to do anything more.' No response to my original message!

I'd contacted a senator early April - to aid just in case. Seems to be okay - but no confirmation so far. IRS did send a template postal letter '60 days to resolve' - about 30 days ago.

Anyone else have this occur - and it'll be interesting to see if the $7500 credit lasts this year - since I plan to use it for the 4th time.

You're multiple communications formats has triggered one or more open inquiry's, final review & determination is pending staffing and priorities. Considering the recent & widely swung axes at the agency, it might be a long wait on the closing of your inquiry.

If you received it's benefit against your net balance of tax, I'd just lay back and wait to see what comes of this. I'd like to see the dealerships who are shirking their duty to be hit hard with the hammer of Thor.

I contacted by email a senate office to get advice - and the next thing I knew they'd contacted the IRS! The IRS sent me $1k+ 15 years ago when they did a non-contact review - 1st contact was getting an IRS E-deposit.

Now I have a 3rd party 'congressional' involved in case it becomes an issue later. An IRS agent on the phone said my account looked fulfilled - it'll just take a while for the account to settle - and everywhere $0 is the balance due.

The dealer is a large one that sold about 500 EV's last year - I've had no contact with them.

I was going to mention the "Taxpayer Advocate Service" {TAS} they are charged with resolving troublesome cases that are caused by poorly designed processes, the goal is to fix systemic problems in concert with bad experiences by individual taxpayers.

TAS, often receives that majority of "Congressional inquiry requests" they receive accelerated attention but only when urgent hardship is at hand, again staffing levels in TAS as well as the rest of the IRS are impeding case resolution.

Thank you - got TAS bookmarked now. Love that DOGE is showing far too many agencies have vast waste-fraud-abuse - we can save as taxpayers.

Federal/state/local governments too often take in a trillion to deliver a billion in products/services. WA state I'm in - need to move - since now they charge 9.9% capital gains - Jeff Bezos left for Miami - then sold shares and saved $1b in state tax.

Need also to catch up with big corporations - like auto dealers that try routine-misdirection accounting with the IRS.
