Need IRS verification phone number - can't verify online, notice not received yet

I have a notice on my account but haven't received the letter yet. Can't verify online without the notice number and the system won't even show me the notice online. Looking for a phone number to call and verify over the phone instead.

Anastasia Fedorov

The IRS verification line is 800-830-5084. Call between 7am and 7pm local time. Average wait is 45-90 mins so call early. When you get through, explain you haven't received the notice yet and they can verify you with other info like SSN, DOB, and previous tax return details.

Yep waited about an hour last week. Pro tip: use the speaker phone and do something else while waiting 😅

Instead of playing phone tag with the IRS, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on with your account and what steps you need to take. It's only $1 and saved me hours of headache https://taxr.ai

100% legit! You just upload your transcript and it uses AI to break everything down. Showed me exactly why I had a notice and what to do about it.

The whole verification system is broken fr fr. They expect us to verify with a notice we dont have yet make it make sense 🤡

Check your spam folder for the notice. Sometimes they email it too but it gets filtered out
