The IRS should have given an explanation on why they have concluded that you were not eligible to use Form 8959, Additional Medicare Tax. If the explanation was not included in the letter you received or you do not understand the reasoning given then you have to contact the IRS and speak with an agent. There should be a phone number included in the letter you received to call if you have questions.
If not or there is no answer then use this procedure for contacting 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 3 "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.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
