IRS sent incorrect notice, can't reach anyone to dispute. Help!

Ugh, dealing with the IRS is THE WORST. I had a similar issue last year. Took me weeks to finally get someone on the phone. Keep trying and document everything. Good luck!

I found a method that actually works 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/_kiP6q8DX5c

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documentation related to the notice 2. Write a detailed letter explaining why you disagree 3. Include copies (not originals) of supporting documents 4. Mail everything certified with return receipt 5. Be patient - it can take 6-8 weeks for a response In the meantime, keep trying to call. Early mornings tend to have shorter wait times. If you can't get through, consider hiring a tax professional to handle it for you. They often have better luck reaching the IRS. Don't ignore the notice, even if you think it's wrong. The IRS can be relentless if they think you owe money. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? sometimes that works better than calling or mailing

I'm dealing with the exact same thing rn. It's so frustrating! Let me know if you find a solution that works 😩

Pro tip: call your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help cut through the red tape and get things resolved faster.

Plot twist: what if the notice is actually correct and you do owe money? 🤔 Might be worth double-checking your records before going through all the trouble of disputing it.
