Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is your answer to help people??? It is CRIMINAL that the IRS is allowed to not take calls. I don't care if it takes 3 god **bleep** hours the automated system should NOT be able to hang up on me. I need my refund and Turboxtax is HORRIBLE and doesn't give you and real idea of where you refund is. The where's my refund tool is broken on IRS or Turbotax did something wrong with my tax return. This is ridiculous and the fact that turbotax does nothing to help doesnt make it any better. I will NEVER use turbotax again.
Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
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 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
