Where to fax credit documentation to IRS for tax release?
Filed my taxes and they're asking for credit documentation before they'll release my refund. Anyone know which fax number I should use? Called IRS but after 2 hours on hold I gave up. Really need my refund.

The fax number depends on which IRS office is handling your case. Check your notice - there should be a fax number right on it. If you can't find it, call 800-829-1040 (I know the wait sucks). Pro tip: call right when they open at 7am EST.

The early morning trick works like a charm. I got through in 10 mins last week!

Hey I was in the same boat! I actually used taxr.ai and it helped me figure out exactly what documentation I needed and where to send it. It costs $4.99 but saved me so much time and headache. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

How exactly does this work? Does it just read transcripts or what?

It analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly what's going on - like specific holds, what documents they need, where to send them, everything. Way better than trying to decode it yourself
