Hi, Nick. It takes some time for the senators office to get back to you. They have to do the research for being able to respond to you accordingly. There are so many steps when writing your congressman.

It may take a few months. If you haven’t heard anything in 60 days do a follow up by calling the senators office.

Hi, Moses. There is a link on the IRS.gov website, that you can check your tax credit status. Try that and see it that helps

Hi, Jared. If you go on IRS.gov, there is a link you can click to check on the tax credit. I was just on there today.

Lynelle contact IRS and set up a payment plan. Send a letter of hardship, provide what you have already paid. Sometimes if you show them that you are not trying to avoid the debt, it will simmer them down. Paying it back only through when you file your tax return, is not what they want to see. If you tell them you can pay $40-50 a month or every two weeks, sometimes they will take the agreement.

When I ran into some tax problems some years ago. That is how I satisfied my debt on a small income as well. I hope this helps. Don’t get stress, just do what you can. A small payment a month can go a long way, then to have them garnish a part of your wages.

@SammyJ Sammy we missed out on credits. I purchased my first home May 2011. So we must start donating clothes to salvation army, giving donations to organizations that are tax write offs so we can itemize for 2012 tax season

@CINDY10 They are doing a 2011 refund but it is only for uniformed members that were on a mission overseas or 50 miles away from their home between 2008 and 2010
