After you file

If you filed a 2019 tax return and were due a refund, but have yet to receive it, you should contact the IRS.  

 

Call the IRS:  1-800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

 

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

 

  • So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info).  Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".   
  • Then press 4 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions."
  • When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.  
  • After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
  • Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
  • It should then transfer you to an agent.
