Marshall Urges IRS To Resolve Impact Payment Issues

The CARES Act made Economic Impact Payments (EIP) available to many Americans to help them endure the financial impacts of COVID-19. The office of U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. has been active in helping nearly 150 Kansans resolve issues with these payments, but problems with the program persist.

“This week I joined 110 other members in the House in sending a letter to the IRS asking the agency to resolve various issues with casework for the EIP program, such as resolving incorrect payment amounts or difficulties accessing the “Get My Payment” online tool,” said Rep. Marshall. “While the agency has made a good faith effort to provide timely and updated information on its website, Kansans continue to express their frustration that the information available does not provide enough clarification on when their issue might be resolved. Ultimately, I am concerned the information provided by the IRS is not sufficient to address the unique and highly individualized situations that Americans are facing.”

Members of Congress have worked hard to assist their constituents who are experiencing issues with the IRS, but the office need the agency to provide clearer directions, better resources and more timely responses in order for us to more effectively assist Kansans in need during this pandemic.
