Need IRS RIVO department phone number - TPG returned payment with RIVO lead number
TPG sent my refund back to the IRS and provided me with a RIVO lead number. Anyone know the direct number to contact the RIVO department? Trying to speed up getting my check instead of waiting around forever.

There isn't actually a direct number for RIVO (Return Integrity Verification Operations). You'll need to call the main IRS number at 800-829-1040. Make sure you have that RIVO lead number handy when you call - it'll help the rep locate your case faster.

Yep, welcome to IRS hell lol. Try calling right when they open at 7am EST. Usually shorter wait times then

Hey, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and can tell you exactly what's going on with RIVO holds. It costs $4.99 but saved me hours of phone time with the IRS. Shows you everything about your case and what to do next.

100% legit. I was skeptical too but it showed me exactly why I had a RIVO hold and what documents I needed to clear it. Worth every penny vs sitting on hold all day

Document everything! Keep copies of all correspondence with TPG and write down dates/times of IRS calls. Trust me itll help if things get messy
