After you file

@Meka2 "...paid TurboTax to speak on my behalf..."  No.  You did not pay TurboTax to speak to the IRS on your behalf.  TurboTax cannot legally intercede with the IRS for you in any way.  You paid TurboTax to use tax software to prepare a tax return.    After you file your do-it-yourself tax return, TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS at all---ever.  

 

Many refunds have been delayed due to the pandemic.  The IRS shut down for several months.  TurboTax cannot fix that, nor can TurboTax speed up the IRS for you.  Your only source of information about your refund is the IRS.

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
