Get your taxes done using TurboTax
IRS live phone assistance is extremely limited at this time.
- Individuals should call 800-829-1040, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time
- For stimulus payment questions, call 800-919-9835.
To determine what this amount is, you may want to try both the IRS Where's My Refund tool to review your 2020 Federal refund status and the IRS Get My Payment tool to review stimulus payment information.
You may have to speak directly with the IRS by telephone. Service is inconsistent but you can reach the IRS 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time here:
- Individuals, call 800-829-1040,
- Stimulus payments, call 800-919-9835..
Much information may be available if you view or create an IRS Account. See this.
Online Account is an online system that allows you to securely access your individual account information. You may view:
- The amount you owe, updated for the current calendar day
- Your balance details by year
- Your payment history and any scheduled or pending payments
- Key information from your most recent tax return
- Payment plan details, if you have one
- Digital copies of select notices from the IRS
- Your Economic Impact Payments (EIP 1 and EIP 2), if any
The IRS says that it will issue 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days. However, if:
- You have e-filed your 2020 Federal tax return,
- You are claiming a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return, and
- Your tax return has been accepted by the IRS.
In these cases, we suspect that the IRS will scrutinize stimulus payments that were issued against the tax returns that claim the Recovery Rebate Credit. We do not know how much delay that the IRS will incur in such cases.
