Is it normal for the reviewer to give review notes without addressing the things you’ve already pointed out? I just get so annoyed to get a question I’ve already raised in a review note.

I take a deep breath and move on anyway because I ultimately do not care but it really grinds my gears.

That’s a layered question, it’s situation dependent. If I have a staff that generally does well thought out great work, clean work papers, gets open items resolved before submitting a project for review, etc… I will generally look hard through work paper notes before coming back to the staff with review notes.

If I have a staff who’s generally sloppy, had 10,000 notes all over the place (some relevant, some not), makes many errors, etc… I may not bother trying to digest it all and will just give notes on what I want cleaned up or with intent to not waste my time cycling through it all.

Have had a lot of notes and feedback, that basically just addresses the things I already did. Desperately want to point it out everytime, but I can’t find a way that doesn’t feel like it comes off horrible. I just move along right now. I try to chalk it up to them being busy and forgetting or missing it which is mostly just to make me feel better.

Trying to understand... is this reviewer a secondary review on top of yours? If so, it's obviously more ideal for the staff to address your comments before letting your manager review.

If they are reviewing something you prepared, but you left an open item/question, I'd try to ensure you're taking the steps to resolve these before it gets to their review rather than leaving them hiding in the workpaper.

Sounds like you need to move firms

It probably annoys your reviewer that you are sending tasks to review with open items or questions, unless they told you it was okay to do so. 🙃

if they say they can’t answer questions until they look at the workpaper, what else am i supposed to do?

Wait, are you sending a workpaper with highlights and comments to someone for review?

I wouldn’t review it. That’s not complete and reviewing something that’s not complete isn’t a good use of time.
