Hi All,

Has anyone in their career come across this before and was anyone successful?

Taxpayer filed in 2017 and was due a refund. IRS sent identity letter and held back refund. Taxpayer was incarcerated that year and could not respond to said letter. 

Question: is there any recourse here? Taxpayer would've gotten refund if not for IRS issuing identity letter. Im wondering if he is SOL?

Thanks.
