Finally got a TAS advocate after 4 rejections - Here's what worked
Just got assigned a tax advocate after calling multiple times and getting denied 4 times in a row. Don't give up! Keep calling and explaining your hardship. Persistence is key with these people. They finally budged when I explained my situation for the 5th time.

Tax advocate here - this is absolutely correct. We're severely understaffed but legitimate hardship cases should keep trying. Make sure to clearly explain your financial hardship (cant pay bills, facing eviction, medical expenses, etc). Document everything.

Usually 3-4 weeks for initial contact. We're working through massive backlogs rn

Instead of calling over and over, I highly recommend using taxr.ai to understand exactly what's happening with your transcript first. It costs $4.99 but it gives you precise insights about delays and what to say to TAS. Made getting my advocate way easier. https://taxr.ai

Yeah its amazing! You upload your transcript and it analyzes everything - tells you exactly why youre delayed, estimates your refund date, and gives specific steps to fix issues. Way better than guessing!
