I guess since it’s legal advice, I just don’t want to get in trouble especially since it’s IRS related. I did post this in tax and IRS but I still need to get another lens on this…

I filed my 2025 taxes through someone who wasn’t a licensed tax preparer and they made mistakes, which resulted in a much larger refund than I should have received. Another accountant reviewed it and said it needs to be amended, so I’ll have to pay back part of the refund. Now I’m trying to pay the IRS online, but ID.me verification keeps failing (possibly due to 2024 tax info / identity issues).

TDLR: Has anyone dealt with this? What’s the best way to pay or fix the ID.me issue without online access?

Do I need to show up to the IRS? I thought I would be sent some mail or something but I’ve been dealing with this for like two months now…so there will be the penalty I have to pay as well…

Any help is truly appreciated.

I apologize for this post because I completely understand everyone’s use for berberine as a natural supplement to help with food noise, insulin, etc. but I have my own thoughts on berberine.

Berberine being that it is natural, I personally wanted to try taking it once a day or once every other day to start. My goal is to drop some weight. Again, I know some might say you’re crazy for using it like that or for the wrong reasons, or people like me have ruined the purpose of these medications etc. but I’m not someone who’s going to start injecting as it doesn’t make sense for me, so I thought id try this route.

For reference, 24F, 148lbs, body mass evenly distributed, not really like top or bottom heavy in an area (idk if relevant). I work out a lot but i can’t seem to drop like 10 pounds for the sake of me. I eat healthy, always staying active, I’m slim but I would like to drop 10 lbs. I emphasize a low carb diet at the moment to stay in my goals and I’m sort of in the middle of a cut, to drop fat.

Would it be good for me to try Berberine? Is there anyone like me with this similar case who’s trying it and seen results? What are the side effects? And how much muscle would I drop? (I’d like to ensure it’s not a lot or damages my bones or my muscle mass decreases by a lot where I can’t build it back or takes me more to build).

Thank you and I apologize again, I hope I don’t receive hate for this post.
