Ugh, I feel your pain. I had a similar issue last year and it took FOREVER to get it sorted. Have you tried calling right when they open? That seemed to work for me eventually.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Listen up, cause I've been down this road before and I've got some advice that might help you out. First things first, gather ALL your documents. I'm talking W-2s, 1099s, receipts, everything. The more prepared you are, the smoother it'll go. Next, when you finally get through to someone, be polite but firm. Explain your situation clearly and ask for a specific timeline for resolution. Don't let them give you the runaround. If you're worried about penalties, ask about the First Time Abatement policy. If you've got a clean record, they might waive penalties. Lastly, consider getting a tax advocate if things get too complicated. They can be a lifesaver in dealing with the IRS. Good luck, and remember: stay calm, be prepared, and don't give up!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to talk to someone about our taxes? The system is broken af 🤡

Have you tried reaching out to your local congressperson's office? Sometimes they can help expedite things with the IRS.

Underreporting issues can be tricky. Make sure you're keeping detailed records of all your attempts to contact them. It might help your case if you can show you've been proactive about resolving the issue.

lol good luck. i've been trying to sort out an issue with them for months. feels like im screaming into the void 😫

Has anyone tried using the IRS's online tools for this kind of thing? I've heard mixed things about their effectiveness.

Just a heads up, if you do get through, make sure to get the name and badge number of whoever you talk to. It can be helpful if you need to follow up later.

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in tax law just to file their taxes correctly? 🎓💼 This stuff is way too complicated for the average person imho
