Got an IRS letter about tax return discrepancies - what to expect when I call?

I found a way to solve IRS letter discrepancy issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqK2CI6qatk

Ugh, IRS letters are the worst. Don't panic tho, it's probably nothing major. What does the letter say? Is it about taxes you owe or something else?

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. 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. Don't panic. IRS letters are common and often just require clarification. 2. Read the letter carefully. Note any deadlines and specific instructions. 3. Gather all relevant documents (tax returns, receipts, etc.) 4. If you used tax software or an accountant, contact them first. They might handle it for you. 5. If you need to call the IRS, be patient. Wait times can be long. 6. Be polite and cooperative when you talk to them. They're just doing their job. 7. Take notes during the call and get the agent's name and ID number. 8. If it's a complex issue, consider hiring a tax professional. Remember, most IRS issues can be resolved easily if you're proactive and honest. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to talk to the govt about OUR money? 🤔 system's broken yo

Whatever you do, DON'T ignore the letter. I made that mistake once and ended up owing way more in penalties. Learn from my fail 😫

Pro tip: if you cant get thru on the main line, try calling your local IRS office. Sometimes its easier to reach a human there and they can often help with the same stuff.
