Use the widget below to find out the best times, how to call, and a guaranteed method to reach a live IRS customer service agent regarding EIN. If it's too hard to call the IRS phone number below, you can place an IRS EIN call here to guarantee you reach a human.
If you want to reach a different department, check out this complete list of IRS phone numbers to find the right department for your needs.
For specialized assistance with unresolved tax issues, you might consider contacting the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, which is designed to be a "voice for taxpayers" within the IRS.'.
There are two methods to reach a live person:
If you prefer face-to-face assistance, you can also find the nearest IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) where you can schedule an appointment to speak with an IRS representative in person.
Below is the best way to dial through their menu faster:
Dial (800) 829-4933
At this point, the IRS will either tell you they're too busy to take your call or you'll be put on hold.
If you suspect you're a victim of identity theft and need specialized assistance, you may want to contact the IRS Identity Theft Victim Assistance directly for more targeted support.
By far the fastest option is to use software. Robots are simply better at this task than humans ever can be.
If you're also looking to set up a payment plan with the IRS, Claimyr offers streamlined assistance for that process as well; you can find more information on their IRS Payment Plan Assistance page.
The IRS is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
If you need to resolve any issues regarding outstanding taxes or payment plans, you can contact the IRS Collections Department during these hours for assistance.
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 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 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 regarding EIN 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.
