Do you know when the IRS will open back up? I desperately need to speak to someone regarding my return. There should be some staff there to answer calls even if it is a limited staff.
I don't know when the IRS regular live assistance call centers will open again. Perhaps someone else will. However, the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service is still taking phone calls in most states. You can try to reach them today. They are especially prone to help if you have a hardship. They may be able to look up your info, and in some instances can help tweak it.
At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your area's IRS Taxpayer Advocate.
