After you file

If you call the IRS by phone at [phone number removed], don't expect them to answer.  They have an automated message reporting that they are under reduce staff and are not accepting phone calls (likely due to the COVID-19 shut down).  They refer to using to the online tools to contact them. 

 

It's now been 10 days since I filed and elected to make my tax payment via withdraw from my bank account and they have non deducted it yet as of 4/8/2020.   Obviously the reduced staff is impacting their ability to process incoming payments and I doubt they have staff able to do the job from a work from home scenario.
