Get a notice from the IRS asking why I did not file for taxes. I'm on disability and have no other income. Not angry. Not screamy. I just wish they had people on the line not bots.
Technically you still have to file a return, even to report zero taxable income. Good luck dealing with them on this, even if you do get a real person on the line. Your best bet might be to go through the IRS Taxpayer Advocacy Service: IRS Taxpayer Advocate
That's funny they told my son who is 19 and didn't make 14k dollars he didn't have to file a return.
If that's right, it must be due to some administrative process they have adopted (in which case it seems like they shouldn't be hassling BFC), but the statutory requirement to file a return is separate from the requirement to pay the tax due

That would be a change, even when I was 14 and only working summers I had to file a return. I didn't owe any taxes but I had to file a return.
From the IRS publication on income:
If you are single, under 65, gross income must be less than $12,980
If you are head of household under 65, gross income must be less than $19,400
** Gross income means all income you receive in the form of money, goods, property, and services that isn't exempt from tax, including any income from sources outside the United States or from the sale of your main home (even if you can exclude part or all of it). Don't include any social security benefits unless (a) you're married filing a separate return and you lived with your spouse at any time during 2022, or (b) one-half of your social security benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest is more than $25,000 ($32,000 if married filing jointly). If (a) or (b) applies, see the Form 1040 and 1040-SR instructions to figure the taxable part of social security benefits you must include in gross income. Gross income includes gains, but not losses, reported on Form 8949 or Schedule D. Gross income from a business means, for example, the amount on Schedule C, line 7; or Schedule F, line 9. But in figuring gross income, don't reduce your income by any losses, including any loss on Schedule C, line 7; or Schedule F, line 9.
bolded-- remember you can subtract personal exemptions from your overall income.
So if you meet these rules then you should not have to file taxes, even if you filed in years past. However, filing does qualify you for certain things, for example during covid the stimulus checks were based upon the filing information from the year before (caveat--they didn't disqualify you from receiving them).
I get your frustration. My mom had some problems with a return and getting an actual human online was next to impossible, and the places they had you send to didn't exist anymore because covid sent everyone home and they stayed there. It's a mess, but keep at it. We successfully changed a $56,000 verdict to zero.

My girlfriend took over as treasurer for a professional nonprofit organization in 2021 and accidentally messed up some minor thing the first time she filed taxes for them. She after multiple days trying to get to talk to a real person from the IRS and they said they would look into it. Two years later and she now gets a letter every couple months saying they are still looking into it and will respond soon. I'm fascinated to see how long it will continue to go on for, because it seems like it is just stuck in a weird IRS purgatory.

Be very careful that the original communication isn't a hoax trying to get you to disclose personal information. This kind of fraud is becoming increasingly common.
Yes, caveat -- if he can take a personal deduction (only if you're not claiming him) then he could actually earn higher that that.
And then when they do respond they may try to charge you interest for all that time they delayed. Fight that, too. They're usually more reasonable than you'd think but in all cases where I've dealt with feds, they've at the very least removed any extra interest involved--and most times accepted a late payment and waived any fees if it was due to a simple misunderstanding or mistake.
I went through something similar. I called during my lunch half hour this summer and was told that my "module was resolved".

I got my MS treatment, which is a form of steroids. It charges me like a cell phone. (about 1% every 15 mins) After a good night sleep I'm at 125% and I want to pillage a small village, lift large objects, and eat the Kuiper Belt. Problem was I was moving into a new apartment and the battery was dead.
(and for the MDs it's a corocoid steroid called PREDnizone)

Good health to you. I know a few people, and one ferret, that was on that same medication.

Yes, it would! Considering your health matters, you might want to get some trail mix or cereal bars to always have on hand--something that is self contained, non perishable (within reason), nutrient dense and consuming requires no real prep. That way you can eat something to keep you sane til you can get a real meal. Of course, the real trick is to leave them for that purpose only.

I'd give my right arm for a gas stove, but they didn't even build our neighborhood with natural gas when they developed it compared to the rest of town that has it.
