Try the IRS main number -
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
Try calling early in the day or late OR make an appointment at your local IRS office ...
See this IRS website for local IRS offices - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-Your-Local-IRS-Office-1 or call 1-844-545-5640 to set up an appointment
<<Try calling early in the day or late >>
the Inspector General's report stated that while hold times are much improved from last year, the IRS hasn't figured out how to match their employee on the phones with the ebb and flow of the call volume. As a result, there are agent waiting to take calls early and late in the day, while there is a backlog of calls in the middle of the day.
Another trick - and this goes for ALL 800- number call centers - avoid Mondays.....absentism tends to be higher and calls backlog as there are not enough employees to answer the phones
