How do you speak to a live person at the IRS?
Hey CatibaT1, check it out.... Real help. Take notes.
I have tried that call in cheat sheet a few times - then you get to the end and they tell you that they can not take your call right now and to try back another time.
I think the most frustrating part is things are over complicated because TurboTax exists. In other countries they just send you a tax bill and you pay it. Here, we have billion dollar companies lobbying our congressmen to make tax laws so complicated that you have to hire someone to help you. H&R Block and TurboTax should be shut down and eliminated.
Intuit is now trying to bill me for my taxes.. They say to be patient, ( I filed and it was accepted Feb. 20 ) my only reply is " you need to be patient, I'm seriously backlogged on my current debt due to being patient waiting on my return. I suggest Intuit be patient as well... 🖕
The IRS issues refunds, not TurboTax. This means that we can't say for sure why you haven’t received your refund if it's been longer than 21 days since you e-filed. You'll have to speak directly to IRS to find out more about the delay.
Here is another link to a thread that details how to go through the automated phone prompts to reach a live representative. The steps may save you some frustration. You can also search for a local IRS office in your area. It may be easier to contact a local representative than using the main phone number. You can use the ''make an appointment'' option even if you have no intention of going to the office, but that may get you a live person on the phone that can provide you some info. They have access to the same information.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is aware that taxpayers are experiencing more refund delays this year than usual. Typically, the IRS processes electronic returns and pays refunds within 21 days of receipt. However, the high volume of 2020 tax returns being filed daily, backlog of unprocessed 2019 paper tax returns, IRS resource issues, and technology problems are causing delays. This is due, in part, to the IRS’s need to manually verify large numbers of Refund Recovery Credits (RRCs), as well as Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC) 2019 adjusted income lookback claims. Once a return is processed by the IRS and loaded on to the IRS systems, TAS may be able to assist with delayed refunds if you meet their case criteria. Please review their case criteria tool to determine if TAS may be able to assist. @JohnnyC 314
