Here's how to phone the IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri
Listen to each menu before making the selection.
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
Then do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.
I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.
If your Federal return is still processing at the IRS after all this time, and you can't get good results from the IRS, phone the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can help tweak the IRS for you if you're having a financial hardship. At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.
