After you file

Yes I worry because it’s been two weeks and they are still reviewing it. I don’t even know who to call to get a human if it gets to the 21 day mark.

Here's how to reach a live agent at the IRS:

800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time)

 

When calling the IRS do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

  • First choose your language.  Listen to each menu before making the selection.
  • Then 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 may transfer you to an agent at that point, but there is likely to be a long wait.


I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.
