These phone numbers and processes do NOT work. They hang up on you within the first minute. Calling the IRS ...IF you get through results in them saying "wait longer". This a problem that likely won't be addressed properly and the truth of the matter is that this is our government and nothing will be done to help. It's just all bad and we'll be waiting for quite some more time with no answers that actually help. It would be nice if the IRS would at LEAST update those messages with an apology for the delay and acknowledge that this is an issue within the company or something to bring people peace of mind that they are not being ignored.
