Cut off mid-call with IRS while amending tax return - What now?

Ugh, that sucks! The IRS phone system is a nightmare. I've been trying to get through for weeks. Keep calling and eventually you'll get someone... maybe 🙄

I found a way to actually 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling the IRS Amended Return hotline at 866-464-2050 2. Best times to call are early morning or just before closing 3. Have all your documents ready when you call 4. Be patient and polite with the agent 5. If you get disconnected, ask for a callback number or extension 6. Consider using a tax advocate if you keep having issues Hope this helps! Dealing with the IRS can be a real headache, but persistence is key.

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

I feel your pain, OP. The IRS is seriously understaffed and overworked. It's not an excuse, but it explains why it's so hard to get through. Hang in there!

PRO TIP: If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help push things along when you're stuck.
