I thought you could get your tax transcripts from the IRS any time off the website, unless you make over a certain amount of money (to be fair, I think most HackerNews readers do exceed that limit..)
- LanceH 3y agoThat's really interesting. I've never been able to see anything like this on their site before. Also interesting is my account balance is currently $0, and I know that's not true even if they 100% believe the last mailing denying my 1099's from Uber and Doordash (not Lyft as I said above). Incidentally, Neither Uber, nor Lyft can help through customer service. I was thinking of taking them to small claims court since I'm not bound by any forced arbitration.
- Volundr 3y agoThe IRS says you owe money from past earnings but irs.gov says your balance is zero? Are you sure this isn't a scam for money or personal information?
- LanceH 3y agoIt was 17 pages of mail with SSN, all my tax info, accounts, etc... Even if it were sent to someone scamming me (and I know it was sent to the IRS), I would have been sending back less info than they sent me. The mail I was sent does match the the 1099's in irs.gov. So maybe the mail I sent back was believed and they just zeroed out everything as the only dispute left would have been around $13. I'm sure it will play out over time. I've had a couple interactions with the IRS over the years and it's always been a fair experience. I'm sure Uber and Doordash will have a hard time providing any valid identification to the IRS.
