After you file

The IRS is behind on processing many returns due to COVID-19 and to many new tax law changes.  

 

Here is the best way to contact the IRS to see if they have any information on why your return is still processing:
 

Call them at 1-800-829-1040.  They are open Mon - Fri from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM.  The best time to reach them is 8:00 AM your time.

 

Get to a live person fastest: Press 1 for English, then press 2 for Personal Income Taxes, and then push 1, then 3, then 2, then 0# when it asks for your social security number, then 2.
