Tips for IRS verification call today? Nervous and need advice!

I found a way to solve IRS verification call challenges, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rpRdZ8WkEY

I just went through this last week! Make sure you have your social security number, last year's tax return, and any notices they've sent you. They might ask for specific line items from your return, so have it handy. Good luck!

Ugh, good luck. I've been trying to get through to them for weeks. Always busy or ridiculous wait times. 😤

Pro tip: call early in the morning, right when they open. You'll have a better chance of getting through quickly.

Make sure you're calling the right number! I wasted an hour last month because I dialed wrong lol 🤦‍♂️

Anyone know what time they close? I'm on the East Coast and I'm worried about time zones.

I've been through this process twice now. Here's what you need to know: • Stay calm and polite, even if you're frustrated • Have all your documents spread out in front of you • Take notes during the call • Ask for clarification if you don't understand something • Get the agent's name and ID number at the start of the call • If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor • Follow up with a written summary of the call if it's a complex issue Remember, most agents are trying their best to help. Good luck!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to talk to someone about our taxes? The system is broken, man. 🤡

Quick question - do they ever do these verifications by mail instead of phone? I hate talking on the phone 😅

Good luck OP! Remember, you got this! 💪 Just think of it as practice for your future Oscar acceptance speech 🏆😂
