Answer: First of all from the information you provided neither of you could legally file a “single” return as you were still married in 2006. If you filed a MFS return and got $30 while a MFJ would have gotten you and your soon to be EX $5,200 the two of you need to begin to act like adults and talk. If you had not figured out that splitting the $5,200 would have given each of you more money I think you need more than advise from this site.

Question: Has anyone received an IRS Form 8009? What is the form for?

I received a Form 8009 from the IRS. I tried to call them at the number listed. Stayed on “hold” for 45 min & still didn’t get an answer.

Answer: To get a human being, call the IRS at 1-800-829-3676,or, if the notice is in regard to a business, call 1-800-829-1105. If no luck, you may want to call 1-800-829-1040. You may only have to wait 15-20 minutes now. You could go to your local IRS office. Now that tax season is over, you should be able to see an IRS representative without having to set up an appointment for a future date.

I see 3 possibilities:
1) You mean an IRS Form 8809, Information Return. The IRS wants info from you regarding W-2, 5498s, 5498-ESA, 1098s or 1099s.
2) You mean an IRS form 8109-B. That’s the booklet. You just commenced a business.
3) You mean an IRS Form 8508. You are a business that filed a Request for Waiver From Filing Information Returns Electronically/ Magnetically

Question: Anyone Else Had Direct Deposit Issues?

Ok, I’ve read all the posts about the refund direct deposit issues and now I’m worried. I keep checking the irs site and it has said that the DD date is the 6th and if it’s not there by the 11th to contact the bank, which I did yesterday, once by phone, and she said that there could’ve just been a delay and that it may be there today, then the teller at the office said that DD are posted as they receive them and nothing has showed up. This confuses me..I don’t know if it’s the irs, or the bank. I have to wait until tomorrow to contact the irs according to their website I just want to know what the deal is, it’s very annoying…….My GA state refund was DD in like a week, so I know I got the right bank info. BB&T is the bank, anyone else use this bank and had any issues? I have my paychecks DD never had a problem there.

Answer: I’m having the same problems. My original DD was scheduled for 2/6. On 2/6 the date changed to 2/10. Now it’s the 10th and I still don’t have any money. The irs hotline said if I didn’t get anything by the 10th to call back but what’s the point when they don’t answer the phone anyway. I’ve tried calling the irs several times but I can’t get to a live person. I keep getting sent to automated system. I am completely frustrated at this point. I did however receive my state refund in 5 days after it was accepted. The problem clearly isn’t with my bank. I used Turbo Tax online which sends the money through Santa Barbara Bank & Trust and they have no answers for me either. I’ve done my taxes the same way for the past 55 years and have never encountered so many problems. Can anyone help? Perhaps a phone number to a live person at the irs.

Question: Why is the IRS so stringent on the timely filing of Form 941?

Answer: Because the money that is being deposited is withheld from employees pay. It is not money that belongs to the employer any longer and the IRS does not want the business doing anything to put money at risk that is not theirs.
