Finally got IRS Tax Advocate after 4 denials - Here's what worked
Finally got approved for a tax advocate after being denied 4 times. Kept calling everyday for 2 weeks straight until they finally assigned someone. Don't give up yall, persistence is key. If your getting the runaround just keep pushing.

The key to getting a tax advocate is demonstrating financial hardship. You need to specifically mention things like possible eviction, utility shutoffs, or medical bills. Also, having all your documentation ready when you call helps speed up the process. Keep detailed notes of every call including rep name and ID number.

Instead of playing phone tag with the IRS, I started using taxr.ai to analyze my transcripts. For $1 it showed me exactly why I was getting delayed and what to say to get approved for advocacy. Best dollar I ever spent tbh https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

•It analyzes everything - shows all codes, explains what they mean, predicts refund dates, and gives specific steps to resolve issues. Way better than guessing what random codes mean lol
