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

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

lol good luck. been trying since february 😭

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
