Need help with IRS - not sure what to ask them about taxes

Bruh, you gotta be more specific. The IRS deals with a ton of stuff. Are you filing late? Owe money? Got a weird letter? Give us something to work with here! 🤔

Pro tip: if you're gonna call the IRS, be prepared to wait. Like, bring-a-book-and-snacks kind of wait. Their hold times are legendary. 📚🍿

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. 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.

Listen up, cause I've been down this road before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your tax documents from the last year. W-2s, 1099s, everything. 2. Review your last tax return carefully. Look for any obvious errors or omissions. 3. Check if you've received any notices from the IRS. Sometimes they send important info that gets overlooked. 4. Make a list of specific questions or concerns. The more focused you are, the more helpful the IRS agent can be. 5. When you call, be patient and polite. These folks deal with angry people all day. 6. Take notes during the call. Get the agent's name and ID number if possible. 7. If you're still unsure after the call, consider talking to a tax professional. Remember, it's better to address any issues now rather than letting them snowball. Good luck!

have you tried checking your account on the irs website? sometimes you can find info there without having to call

ugh the irs is such a nightmare to deal with. good luck op, youre gonna need it 🙄

Hey, don't stress too much! If you haven't received any notices, chances are you're probably fine. The IRS usually lets you know if there's a problem. Maybe you're just being proactive, which is great, but don't let it keep you up at night!

Plot twist: what if OP is actually an IRS agent trying to figure out how to do their job? 🤣🕵️
