4. They must be busy - they need another 90 days, on top of 90 days to respond

to my response.

# 11/12/20 - I received a CP2000 saying I didn't report some retirement income and so I owe $2,900 in taxes

# 11/16/20 - I mailed my response to the IRS showing proof that I had declared that supposedly missing income

# 2/5/21 - Got a response -- the first time I heard from them -- "We received your reply on Nov. 20, 2020 to our notice about proposed changes to some of the items on your tax return. Before we resolve this matter, we need to process all of your information. We'll send you our complete response within 90 days."

# 5/8/21 (yes, today) - Got another response - IRS 5/3/21 letter received 5/8/21 - "We received your reply on Nov. 20, 2020 to our notice about proposed changes to some of the items on your tax return. Before we can resolve this matter, we need to process all of your information. We'll send you our complete response within 90 days"

Very annoying to be accused of not reporting income that I reported, and then to have this hanging over my head for nearly 6 months as of today, and perhaps 9 months. All the while it's accumulating interest (maybe penalties too) if at the end of all of this, they somehow deem I owe the $2,900. Was also very irritating that they didn't provide any detail about why they think I didn't report the amount that I supposedly didn't report.
