How can I speak to a live person at EFTPS?

There are two methods to reach a live person:

1.) by calling manually over and over again, get on a long hold, and then hope the call doesn't drop -- and I'll show you how to do that,
2.) use a calling tool that dials for you, stays on hold, and forwards a call to your phone number when an agent is on the line. (RECOMMENDED)

Option 1 (SLOW): call manually - time to a human rep = 2+ hours.

Below is the best way to manually dial through their menu faster:

Step 1: Dial (800) 555-4477
Step 2: Wait for 1.0 minute(s) 4.0 second(s)
Step 3: Press 1
Step 4: Wait for 4.0 second(s)
Step 5: Press 0

If you find yourself stuck or in need of more direct assistance after these steps, consider reaching out to the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for personalized support.

Option 2 (FAST): use a call app - time to a human rep = 5-40 min.

By far the fastest option is to use software. Robots are simply better at this task than humans ever can be.

Step 1: head to Claimyr
Step 2: select/search for "EFTPS"
Step 3: pay for Claimyr to call for you (yes it's a paid version, but it honestly works very well. You can research Claimyr before buying to be sure)
Step 4: kick back, relax, and wait for your phone to ring with a EFTPS agent on the line!

For those needing assistance with more complex tax issues that Claimyr may not cover, you can also find direct phone numbers for IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers which offer specialized support.

EFTPS hours of operation 🕗

EFTPS is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time)

If you suspect fraudulent activity on your account outside of the 'EFTPS hours of operation', you may seek immediate help by contacting IRS Identity Theft Assistance

What is the best time to call EFTPS?

Do not call during these times (unless you are using Claimyr, which then you can order a callback 24/7 Monday - Sunday):

👎 Monday mornings
👎 After 5 pm on any day
👎 Friday afternoons (as you'll likely not solve your issue until the following week)

But again, if you are using Claimyr's automated callback tool, then you will be able to place a call literally anytime during the day and get a callback soon after.

The best time to call EFTPS is Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. ⚠️WARNING⚠️: please beware that you often need to dedicate an entire day to dialing over and over just to get on hold. Also, EFTPS is notorious for dropping calls even when you finally do get on hold! So if you decide to start calling mid-week, due to excessive call volume, you may not be able to reach an agent until the following week or longer.

If you don't consider calling EFTPS a full-time profession, consider using a calling tool such as Claimyr to guarantee a callback with an agent on the line with zero hold time.
