It started in year 2024? where I requested a refund of $3700, but was told over the telephone by a lady at the IRS, that they can only refund the moneys which I paid in for that year alone, not applied money in previous years. For I had usually instructed that "Apply to Next Year". She told me I could only get $1500 refund for the $2,200 was applied from previous years.
This caused me a gloomy crisis because I could no longer depend on "APPLY to Future Year". It had become a obsolete and throw away selection.
So I decided to "not apply to next year" but request a refund.
The greatest time waster is now this Direct Deposit and where the IRS has allied itself with ID.me account which the IRS says it uses.
So, today, 27May, I spent 4 hours downloading my drivers license, yet the outfit never SAVED my downloads.
Are they expecting me to download pictures every time I log on???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Then, I thought I was finished with ID with my drivers license. NO they wanted a face Video taking 5-10 minutes. I tried at least 4 times, thinking the phone reception was causing the video to never "go through". Another waste of 2 hours.
So I am thinking. Does the IRS ID.me expect me to spend 10 minutes of Downloads, every time I open my account?????????????????????????????????????
Then to top it off, Walmart emails me, 5:13 pm (right in the middle of trying to set up this ID.me account) that I had purchased $39 dollars of trail mix to be delivered to Monroeville OH 44847. Which I NEVER did. Walmart then emailed me it was canceled. But I bring this issue up, because, Did ID.me which I was trying to open an account to talk to the IRS, did ID.me transmit my email address to Walmart and that is the awful reason of a false order??????????????????????
So I am trying to open a IRS account to tell them my Direct Deposit account to receive my Refund.
In total, AP loses on this day 27May2026, 6 hours of trying to open an account with IRS, and absolutely no luck and on top of that--- Walmart falsely accuses me of making a order. It maybe the case that the Walmart false order is coincidental to my trying to open a IRS account to tell them direct deposit details. But the Walmart email is so Bizarre that I feel ID.me is the source of that false order.
And the idea that everytime I open ID.me, I have to spend 20 minutes in downloads of pictures.
My refund check for 2025 is a meager amount, less than $500, so I ask a question--- Since all of my deposits to the IRS is via Mail, why cannot the IRS give me my refund via MAIL, which I am used to. I send the IRS 4 times a year Estimated Taxes all by mail. Why cannot the IRS respond by a mailed check since I have to mail 4 times a year.
Increasingly, more and more the Government is ruining and destroying HOURS and Days out of my life and many others.
I remember decades back where Social Security set up a email account. But then, a few months later, SS wanted me to change the Passcode every 3 months. And when they demanded that--- I completely gave up on the Social Security on the internet. I could barely remember the passcode and here they want me to change it every 3 months?????????????????????????????????????????????
Someone needs to CLEAN UP all the accounts between government and private citizens.
They spend more time worried about hackers that it makes Online Accounts totally impractical as it wastes the time of millions of people across the USA.
And when I call up the IRS to arrange a in person appointment, or even speak to a live person not a robot, is becoming almost impossible.
AP writes:: I can see the advantage the IRS wants in having Direct Deposit, but, well, If I send 4 times a year a check, the IRS should keep its MAILING out checks once a year.
This recent letter to me demanding Direct Deposit gives me 30 days, and so far--- 1/2 that time was spent in the nightmare of ID.me and talking to robots on the phone.
Perhaps the ID.me is actually the government entering your iphone or computer as they say they need a VIDEO, but that is perhaps a planting of a virus into your computer or iphone so that the government can look at everything on your phone.
