I need a number for the IRS where I can talk to a real person??

[kathrynhargis]

ive called this number and selected the correct prompts and 2 different ladies transfer me to the darn automated system. so frustrating.

Just called it definitely works and only waited less than 2 minutes thanks very helpful and had a nice rep

Every time I call it says due to high call volume we can’t take your call then hangs up on me. I just want to know why my taxes are delayed.

It hung up on me! It’s been way over 21 days I’m stuck in Return received processing I’m getting really frustrated an d just want to talk to a live person!!

@lintodn13 @sbrown1369 @thrjunki3 hey guys, the above method does work - but if everyone is getting that same "high call volume" message, try this number instead: Dial 800-829-zerofiveeighttwo - - its going to prompt for an extension which is 652.

I got through and the agent was very helpful and told me my deposit date should show up by next week! GOOD LUCK GUYS!

Thank you ! They told me to hold between 15-30 minutes

was able to talk to someone, i am 23 days waiting and they said if it is not received by the 27th then to call them back. so to anyone still wanting to know. it can be anywhere from tomorrow to the 27th.

I called that number @tanicasolomon and did get a person, however I need assistance registering for an online account (it keeps kicking me out and telling me the information I'm providing isn't matching our records) so I can download a copy of my 2017 return so I can call the identity verification number to finish filing my 2017 return so i can get my AGI to finish filing my 2018 return (it's kind of a clusterf*&^ right now lol)

I was given 866-255-zerosizfivefour which is apparently a professional financial line, not to use for personal online account stuff. These people then told me to call the -1040 number I called from THIS post... which tells me they're not answering questions.

I don't know what to do to get some damn answers!

It works great talk to a live person you will know something by feb 27 be patient it’s coming

[tamirmom3]

I did the today 2/21/19 and it works perfectly

[dessart-taylor]

This does in fact work, it's easy to miss a step (like I did) with how this is written and think this doesn't work, but read carefully and you will get through. Also, don't forget to take a deep breath 🙂 this stuff is frustrating but it's all about how you deal with it. Be patient and the representative will do the same with you. If they don't, avoid mirroring the behavior but instead make the representative aware of their behavior.

Did anyone receive any updates on their taxes ?

[shotputdude]

I just used the number @tanicasolomon suggested and it worked just fine! Waited on hold for about 20 min and the awesome agent told me I have a DDD for 2/27.
