I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

For now, all you apparently can do is complete and mail Form 14039. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14039.pdf 

When IRS starts handling paper again, they'll most likely be in touch.

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

This is for a victim of identity theft. I'm not a victim. I think IRS is doing this because it's my husbands last income tax where he passed away in 2019 and I had to file for this purpose. I did it as they said to file. File married jointly with deceased by his name. I think the reason behind it is due to the address change I put on tax papers when I e-filed plus I didn't want direct deposited because I don't have a bank account. The information on my e-file is different then the past taxes we filed and I changed who I e-filed with this year because the free e-file here didn't have the form needed for free.

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

The letter was addressed to my husband and I bothe with deceased by his name. So that is another problem with this form. Who's identity do they think has been stolen?

I submitted mine back in February, almost as soon as you could file. Its now June, I have not gotten any help from Turbotax or the IRS. I feel so helpless. They are just holding my cash hostage.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

 

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
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 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or you may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area. See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

It was accepted, everything checked out. All I get is "still processing" on the where's my return. When I call that number, they "transfer" my call to the department, which really means they direct you to an automated system and hang up on you.

 

At this point they are just holding money hostage.

Wow this is the same issue I’m having! Did you get it resolved? I’ve been trying to call for weeks now. 

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

Same Issue for me, filed and accepted by IRS on Feb 28th, got my state refund in about 2 weeks. I can't get any status on the "Where is my Federal refund page, it says I'm the info I entered is not correct" although it always worked fine every year before. Can't call anyone, now I get that the call volume is high for the subject I am calling for and to try back later. If there is an issue I want to know so I can fix it. So pissed that they didn't keep working, I had to keep working through all of the bs, the IRS works for me....a taxpayer!

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

I've been having a similar issue. The best I can do is get through to a line that tells me to call back the next day. I've been doing that for about. month. I'm now trying to make a face to face appointment at a local IRS office. I've at least managed to find a way to be on old for the last two hours with this line. Keep fighting the good fight. 

I've been trying to contact the irs but i can't get through is there another way?

To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954. (This line has no information on Economic Impact Payments.)

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. 

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

My tax return was excepted three months ago, I never received a stimulus payment. Believe me I tried all of those things. I've talked to a human twice who transferred me to a different department. Both times the call was dropped after two hours. Believe me, I am well aware of all of the items you posted.
