How long does IRS tax return verification call usually take? (PST timezone)

I found a way to solve IRS tax return verification call, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnmJUjrXgLw

Ugh, good luck with that. I tried calling the IRS last week and was on hold for over 3 hours before I gave up. It's a total nightmare 😫

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/bDXD2SD0gGk

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open. I got through in about 30 minutes last time I did that. Also, have all your docs ready before you call so you don't waste time once you get someone.

I've had to verify my tax return before. The call itself only took about 15-20 minutes once I got through to someone. The hold time is the real killer tho 💀

Has anyone tried using the IRS website for this? I know they have some online tools, but idk if they cover tax return verification.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect when verifying your tax return with the IRS: • Prepare all necessary documents beforehand (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) • Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 • Navigate through the automated system (it's a pain, but stay patient) • Average hold times can range from 30 minutes to several hours • Once you reach an agent, the actual verification process usually takes 15-30 minutes • They'll ask you questions to confirm your identity and details from your tax return • Be polite but firm if you disagree with anything they say • Take notes during the call for future reference Remember, persistence is key. If you can't get through, try calling at different times of the day. Early morning or just before closing time can sometimes have shorter wait times. Good luck!

lmao imagine thinking you can just call the IRS and get help 🤣 welcome to bureaucracy hell, my friend
