I filed my fed & state refund mid-Feb (part time NU resident) and just submitted my 3rd inquiry to audit department where my case is still unassigned.
Does anyone know if using an attorney or tax advocate (need to file form.dtf-911 & takes another 30 days) could help? Not even sure if 8k refund worth going attack-mode at this point (9 months!?)
I really need the money and not sure what else I can do.

As a fellow auditor, I can understand the frustration when dealing with slow audit departments. It can feel like you’re in a black hole. I recommend keeping accurate records of all communication with the audit department, including dates and what was discussed. This documentation can be crucial if you decide to escalate the issue or involve an attorney.
It’s also wise to evaluate if engaging a tax advocate could expedite the process, as they often have resources to navigate these situations faster. However, consider if the potential $8k refund justifies the time and energy required for this route.
If you need more insights on tax advocacy or strategies, feel free to ask!
