Use the widget below to find out the best times, how to call, and a guaranteed method to reach a live IRS Collections customer service agent. If it's too hard to call the IRS Collections phone number below, you can place a IRS Collections call here to guarantee you reach a human.
For those who are looking to set up a payment plan with the IRS and would prefer to discuss their options directly, you can find detailed IRS Payment Plan Contact Information to help streamline the process and save time.

If you find yourself needing additional assistance after following these steps, consider reaching out to the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for personalized support.
By far the fastest option is to use software. Robots are simply better at this task than humans ever can be.
If you prefer to speak directly with an agent, you can also find the phone numbers for local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers, which may provide more personalized service, by visiting IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers'.
The IRS Collections is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM (EST)
If you suspect you've been a victim of identity theft, it's important to contact the IRS Identity Theft Assistance outside of the standard IRS Collections hours to ensure your issue is addressed promptly.
Do not call during these times (unless you are using Claimyr, which then you can order a callback 24/7 Monday - Sunday):
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 the IRS Collections 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, the IRS Collections 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 the IRS Collections 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.
