As you have learned, live assistance from the IRS is currently not available, so you will not be able to reach them.
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is still operating, but they are also unable to reach the IRS departments that are closed so the service they can offer is limited and is a bit slower than usual.
However, they may still be able to help. You can find the one that serves your area here: Taxpayer Advocate Service
