I efiled a tax return for a client in 2023 and it was rejected by the IRS, because they claimed that the couple had already filed their return for 2022. They denied that they had filed and they did not know who had filed, so this was a case of identity theft. We filed the proper documents and to this date, the IRS has not responded even after several written letters and calls to the IRS. I did some more research and found that this is an unfortunate common occurrence with the IRS. Read this document regarding a study made of the IRS and it's procedures. If this happens to you, you need to document everything and hopefully have a trusted tax professional on your side.
