Solved: I know the IRS phone number is 800-829-1040, but how to do you get someone to actually answer the line?

I filed my taxes is February 7th and I still have not received my refund. Every time I check the status of my taxes on irs. Gov with verification I get a message saying "No information can be given at this time" that is not adequate service! I tried calling and the call is automatically sent to the automatic system which says you have the option to wait in line for the next representative but then it disconnects the call. Something needs to give because this type of business is unacceptable! What happened to great customer service?

I am in the same situation! I do not understand how it is legal for the IRS to put you on a call waiting list and then just hang up on you. I need my taxes and I have no idea what is going on. I should have receive it by now. It is unacceptable as you said for them to be able to not take your call.

Did you ever get your taxes back? What was the result of all this for you? I know this was in 2019, but I filed mine this year on Jan 29, and I still haven’t got mine back. Tried to call the irs I can never get through :(

Use this link to check on the status of your refund. Where's My Refund

TurboTax is a Tax preparation tool, so once you prepare and submit your return to IRS, TurboTax is no longer involved. TurboTax does not issue refunds or know when they are issued. IRS does not update TurboTax about their processing of your returns.

The IRS issued more than 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days last year. The same results are expected for 2021 however due to the delay in the start of the season millions more return have piled up causing a backlog as the IRS has to check each and every return for the correct stimulus credit payments you already got against the amount you reported ... this has put a monkey wrench into the entire system this year that is already overtaxed ... patience will be needed while they try their best to muddle thru this situation.

You can use the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool (fastest option) or IRS2Go mobile app

Please see the links below for more information on when you will receive your refund:

IRS is issuing the third payments in phases. To find out when and how the IRS sent your third Economic Impact Payment, please use the Get My Payment tool. The Get My Payment updates once a day, usually overnight. The IRS states "Do not call the IRS." Their phone assistors don't have information beyond what's available on IRS.gov.

I filed mid February joint. and currently have not received my refund. Can you please investigate?

VolvoGirl · ‎May 25, 2021

Sorry no one can check on your refund. Turbo Tax only gives you an estimated date. The IRS usually pays most refunds within 21 days. But these are not normal times. This year is taking the IRS longer to send the refunds. There are millions more people filing returns to get the Stimulus payment.

See this news article on Refunds being delayed

Only the IRS can tell you. If your return was Accepted then check IRS Where's my refund

The menu instructions for the line changed completely. Does anyone have any updated instructions on how to get in touch with the IRS? I got a letter in the mail and the IRS is missing two of my payments.

Critter-3 · ‎June 18, 2021

"missing 2 payments" ???

If you made the payments you listed on your return and the IRS disagrees then simply respond to the notice with proof of payment ... a bank or credit card statement showing the payment and/or a cancelled check.
