What does this code mean? I call (previous to using this service, still waiting on my call) and everytime they hang up saying its an invalid code to put. Please mention reference number 1242 to the IRS Customer Service Representative. IRS Hours of Service: Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call: 1-800-829-0582, when asked for an extension, enter 362.

Check out this post. TL;DR it's probably okay. The IRS is just conducting a random review of your and return. This allows them to see how accurate they are on a large-scale basis. However, it could be related to an identity theft issue. https://claimyr.com/irs/Can-anyone-help-me-with-this-Tax-Topic-151-Your-Appeal-Rights-If-you-have-questions-or-need-additional-information-please-have-the-following-on-hand-when-you-call-A-copy-of-this-page-A-copy-of-your-tax-return-The-Social-Security-Number-Filing-Status-and-refund-amount-claimed-on-your-return-An-notice-that-vou-have-received-concerning-your-refund-Please-mention-reference-number-1242-to-the-IRS-Customer-Service-Representative-IRS-Hours-of-Service-Monday-through-Friday-from-7-am-to-7-pm-Call-1-800-829-0582-when-asked-for-an-extension-enter-362/2022-04-21

AuthorAny word by any customer that has been able to speak to a representative about this? Currently my first time using this service and Im on my second call back with no luck. Also, any tax professionals here? I need a trusted expert to help me with my 2022 taxes!

Yes, Claimyr works. You may also look at using the identity verification line Claimyr offers as well. As for tax help, I recommend reaching out to James Cha, here: https://aceplustaxresolution.com/

To all those having trouble reaching a human at IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

I've been dealing with reference number 1242 for weeks now! The key is persistence - keep calling back until you get through. I found that calling right at 7 AM when they open gives you the best chance. Also, make sure you have ALL your documents ready: your tax return, Social Security card, and any previous correspondence from the IRS. Don't give up - it's frustrating but you will eventually get through to someone who can help resolve this. The wait times are brutal but it's worth it once you finally connect with a representative who knows what they're doing.
