<prompt> Human: The IRS sent me a letter a couple months ago and I called them and they said 6 more weeks... well its been 3 more months and still no word. Ive tried calling the IRS but I cant get a real person... what should I do? is it too late to get MY refund?  <response>: 5 months sounds like you have an issue that needs to be resolved. You can check the status here: to ensure that your return has actually been received. If it has, you need to follow up with a real person at the IRS, if it has not, you need to re-submit and still follow up with a real person.
