guys. the irs is a joke. they probably dont even have real people working there anymore. its all robots and AI. wake up sheeple! ššš
Take off the tinfoil hat, buddy. They're understaffed, not run by robots š
I feel your pain, OP. I've been trying to resolve an issue with them for MONTHS. The system is totally broken. Good luck, hope you get through soon!
Has anyone tried faxing in an address change form? I heard that might be faster than calling or going in person.
Just a heads up, make sure you change your address with USPS too. Sometimes the IRS mail doesn't get forwarded properly and you dont want to miss any important notices.
Has anyone tried using one of those identity protection services? wondering if it might help streamline the process...
lol good luck. i've been trying to verify my identity with the irs for 6 months now. everytime i think i'm done, they ask for something else. it's like playing whack-a-mole with bureaucracy š¤”
Pro tip: if you can, try to schedule an in-person appointment at your local IRS office. Sometimes face-to-face interactions can speed things up.
Anyone else feel like the whole tax system needs a major overhaul? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with this archaic bs š
Yeah but good luck getting Congress to agree on anything lol

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this issue multiple times: 1. Use the company's app if they have one. Sometimes you can chat with a rep there. 2. Call during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening). 3. If you get an automated system, try saying 'agent' or 'representative' repeatedly. 4. Keep a record of who you talk to and when. It helps if you need to escalate later. 5. Be polite but firm. The person on the other end is probably dealing with angry customers all day. 6. If all else fails, file a complaint with the FCC or your state's public utility commission. Hope this helps! Good luck getting your plan set up.

ā¢Sometimes I think thats what they want us to do. Keep us on crappy expensive plans or force us to switch. win-win for them š¤”
