1040-NR Delays with IRS
-
I filed a 1040-NR using a temporary SSN and have been waiting for a long time. At this point, is calling the IRS repeatedly actually helping? Should I try contacting a Taxpayer Advocate or re-file electronically? Has anyone else in this exact situation found a real solution to this long delay?

Long delays with 1040-NR filings and temporary SSNs are a huge headache in the U.S. Calling the IRS usually doesn't help once things hit manual review, but reaching out to the Taxpayer Advocate Service can be a lifesaver if the wait is hurting you financially.
And hey, don’t re-file electronically unless they tell you to; it just complicates things. Just stay organized with your records and keep an eye on your transcripts for any updates.
