Hi, not sure what to do. I have been trying to call the irs to change my address but since it is extremely busy wait times it hangs up my call. I filed my taxes for this year 2021 and accidentally put one number off on my address. The address listed on the tax return is not a valid address. I didn’t do direct deposit either. What do i do to ensure my tax return gets mailed to the correct address?

For this, you will need to reach out to the IRS directly. The below might get you to an agent faster.

IRS

IRS: 800-829-1040

Hours: 7 AM - 7 PM, local time

Monday-Friday

Listen to each menu before making the selection.
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent.

Thanks! I have been trying to call but it just keeps saying due to high volumes of calls it hangs up and tells me to call at another time or business day. Any tips on getting a hold of a real person?

The steps provided above by @HeatherPLO are the best way to reach someone at the IRS. You might want to try early in the morning before their hold queue begins to fill up.
