Best times to call IRS? Been trying for 3 days straight with no luck (2023 Return)

Been trying to get through to the IRS for 3 days straight with no luck. Getting really frustrated cause its been months of waiting for my 2023 return. At this rate ill probably get my 2024 refund before this one. Anyone know the best time to actually get through to someone?

Best time to call is right when they open at 7am EST. Call exactly at 7am, not 7:01, not 7:05. Have all your info ready before you call. Also, try calling on Tuesday-Thursday, those are usually less busy than Monday/Friday.

Instead of playing phone tag, you should try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and what to do next. Costs $4.99 but saved me hours of headache and endless calling. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Yeah! Used it last week actually. It basically reads your transcript and uses AI to break down exactly whats happening, when you'll likely get paid, and what you need to do if there are any issues.

Try the tax advocate service if you're having financial hardship. They can sometimes help push things along

Pro tip: use the spanish line and then ask for english service when someone picks up. Usually way shorter wait times 👀

The IRS phone system is a complete joke rn. They need to hire more people or fix their broken system
