IRS Account Closed - Need Help Updating Parent's Information

To update information on a closed account, you'll need to verify identity first. Your dad needs to call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040. He'll need his SSN, last filed tax return info, and ID ready. They might require Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) if you're trying to handle it for him.

Hey, I had the same issue last month. I found this tool called taxr.ai that helped me figure out exactly what was going on with my account and what steps to take. It costs like a dollar but saved me hours of headache. https://taxr.ai

in the same boat... its so frustrating trying to deal with the IRS. Been trying to update my moms info for weeks 😤

Make sure you're using a secure connection when you try to log back in. My account got locked cause I tried logging in too many times lol

check if your local taxpayer advocate service is available. they helped me with something similar

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line try the tax exempt org number and then ask to be transfered to accounts. works like a charm
