I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
$20 to talk to the IRS? That's highway robbery! π€¬
Just used it and got through in 30 minutes. Much better than waiting all day!
PSA: If you're a low-income taxpayer, look into the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help you navigate IRS issues for free.
Absolutely, and they're great for providing assistance when you're stuck.
Anyone else feel like they need a degree in tax law just to understand their refund status? π€ #TaxationWithoutComprehension
Have you checked if your refund was offset for any reason? Sometimes they'll use it to pay off other debts you might have with the government. Just a thought!
This happened to me once. They used my refund to pay an old student loan. Totally caught me off guard.
To all those having trouble reaching a human at IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
If youβve past the 21 days since you filed, I suggest looking at your transcripts. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript or if you would rather speak to an agent to check the progress with them you can always do that as well.

β’Waste of money imho. You can do everything they do yourself if you're willing to put in the time.

β’Tax resolution services can be a great option for those overwhelmed or unsure. However, they can be pricey, so it's important to do research and ensure the service is reputable.

Hot take: maybe if we simplified the tax code, we wouldn't need all this verification nonsense in the first place π€ Just sayin
