Need help with IRS document amendment and extension - which department to contact?

Ugh, dealing with the IRS is such a pain. I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried using their online portal? Sometimes it's easier to submit amendments digitally rather than over the phone.

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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Listen up, folks. Here's what you need to do: 1. First, determine which form you need to amend. For most people, it's Form 1040-X. 2. Gather all necessary documents, including your original return and any new information. 3. Fill out the form carefully. Double-check everything! 4. If you need an extension, use Form 4868. This gives you an automatic 6-month extension. 5. For specific questions, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Be prepared for a wait. 6. Consider using a tax professional if things get complicated. Remember, amendments can take up to 16 weeks to process. Start early!

have you tried faxing? sometimes thats faster than calling or mailing lol. welcome to 1995 🤣

I'm in the same boat, been trying to get this sorted for weeks. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Good luck, OP!

Pro tip: if you can, visit a local IRS office in person. Sometimes face-to-face is the best way to get things sorted quickly.

Anyone else think its crazy that we need whole forums just to figure out how to talk to our own government? 🤔 Like, shouldn't this be easier?
