I called a number last year to check on my injured spouse form to see if it was processed or not...I don't remeber what that number was or what website i found it on. I
It wasn the 800 829 1040# cause I was connected to a live person almost immediatly...
I'm wondering if anyone has this number???
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.
that # is not right -it refers you back to the 1040 #....how are you a "tax pro"
It would be great to have a valid number to contact a living person, not their recorded voice!

Do you know what time zone this number is for?
The IRS phone number hours of operation are based on your local time zone.
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.
This is a real play by play, I'm impressed but after two rings " due to high call value we are unable to take your call, goodbye." What a joke, the hoops you have to jump through to get answers from the IRS are rediculous. Follow these steps except choose the option to make a payment, a real person answers and just say you chose the wrong option and connect you to injured spouse refund agent
