Alright & #39;Payment Status Not Available& #39; folks - I keep hearing/seeing about a very oddly specific set of circumstances where this is happening: You filed in 2018, have not filed in 2019, and at the time in 2018 you OWED on your return.
That describing a lot of you?

Little update here: Getting a LOT of affirmatives on this, both here on Twitter and in emails from people who have read an article I wrote this morning on the situation: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/payment-status-not-available/85-9f7b0fa1-ae1d-4af2-9111-e10c7395d1b9
Good">https://www.11alive.com/article/n... news is we& #39;re not all alone. Bad news is I& #39;m still not sure what we do.

One more small update: I& #39;ve sent numerous messages to @USTreasury @IRSnews today but, unfortunately, nothing in response.
For what it& #39;s worth, and in full transparency, my wife and I are in the same boat as so many others. I hope I, or someone, can get some answers soon.

Couple people emailed me this morning to highlight this IRS update.
Now, I& #39;m currently looking at it and it does indicate an update, but it& #39;s no longer saying the below in bold.

It does, however, say this:
"The application doesn& #39;t yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it."
So maybe some hope for the Payment Status Not Available folks that they at least finally recognized a problem. #Accessing">https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment-frequently-asked-questions #Accessing">https://www.irs.gov/coronavir...

Hi @IRSnews @USTreasury I’ve got hundreds of people in this thread and thousands in my email saying they experience the same specific issue.
I’ve tried emailing, so consider this a formal request for comment to address the matter.

Unfortunately not much to update today. The highlighted part below appears new, but doesn& #39;t offer any substantively new information.
At the moment, trying to follow the logic here, filing for 2019 seems to be the only route that *might* offer some resolution, though without an explicit acknowledgment this is happening to so many people, it& #39;s hard to even call that a slam dunk.
Got a message pointing me to this Democrats Abroad letter which outlines some of the Kafkaesque issues facing expats getting Payment Status Not Available. https://wiki.democratsabroad.org/download/attachments/49515060/Improving%20CARES%20Act%20Resources%20for%20Americans%20Abroad.pdf?api=v2">https://wiki.democratsabroad.org/download/...
