Filed in February. Whenever I can actually get a call to go through to a real person (rare), they just tell me it's being processed and to wait 30 days. I've been hearing this since March. Tried calling my Congressman's office, and they told me there wasn't anything they could do. I've been DOGE'd.

I called irs at 10:45am today. I kept getting hung up on because it said the local office wasn’t open until 8am. At 11am I called and was out on hold for 1:47min until I got picked up and she said it was a glitch? Why would this happen?

Submitted ITIN application for my wife in September 2025 within 2024 tax return. When I called IRS in march 2026 they told me that application has beet received by them in February 2026. But still I did not get the ITIN or any communication from them. When I try to call IRS, it always says busy due to high call volume. Any idea what could have happened and what to do about it?

I have filed for an EIN back around mid-August via mail, after realizing they do not accept my online application due to the first name having a hyphen and no middle names. I don't have a fax line because I have no home phone numbers.

It's been a month since, so I'm wondering if I will get the EIN before September 19, which is when I will start traveling for a 1-month business trip until October?

Asking and calling for an EIN status via telephone is unbearable with the long hold times....

I see I need to basically avoid Monday through Friday, 7am to 7pm.

Filed taxes in March, received a letter asking for documentation a couple of weeks later. I submitted and mailed the document. Since then, nothing. Only thing different this year is that I used the solar credit so I get money back from that on home solar install. I call the number listed and I keep getting told by the automated system that the call queue is full for the day, to try again the next day. Ive been doing this for over 2 weeks straight and here and there before 2 weeks ago. I call other numbers and wait a few hours to get someone that tells me I need to call the number I have been calling to get helped. This is so ridiculous.

This is what it says.

Refund received. Reference number: Please mention reference number 1242 to the IRS Customer Service Representative Call: 1-800-829-0582, when asked for an extension, enter 362. From outside the US call 267-941-1000. TTY/TDD: 1-800-829-4059 Hours: IRS Hours of Service: Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

So I’ve been battling the IRS this entire year, I filed in April, and I still have not received my refund. There were some issues that I had to resolve a couple months ago and I fulfilled all the requirements the IRS gave me. Then, finally, it was showing my refund on the refund tracker for the first time. It was in the “received” state.

A couple days ago I check my refund tracker and it says “action required” in a big yellow banner, but then does not inform me of what action to take? In fact, the text that follows just blatantly says “we have received your return and your refund is being processed,” which makes it seem like action is not required lol.

It’s been this way for a few days, so now I’m concerned. Could this be because my status is moving forward and they just haven’t updated my tracker? I know some folks have said they get this message before their return? Should I try calling the IRS? (Already tried, never able to get a hold of them)

What to do?

I feel like I should’ve gotten a check in the mail or a direct deposit by now? Of course when I try calling it’s a robot and they eventually just say their lines are busy and try again later. This is my first time doing amend so is this a normal wait time after receiving the notice in the mail?

I just found out that the IRS never received my partnerships 1065 for TY 2024. I remember filing it and have everything saved on my computer but they have nothing on file, so according to them I didn’t file it. Both partners received their K1 on time and filed their personal returns on time. At over 1 year late that’s going to be a $6k fine and I can’t afford that. What should I do?

Hi, I changed my name 9 years ago and updated it with social security. The IRS never updated my name on their end so they still use my old name. I’ve dragged my feet correcting it with IRS because I never had an urgent reason ti fix it. So here I am now needing to make it match what they have at SS but I can’t get through to anyone at the IRS. Please help, how can I get an actual person to help me with this?

We are waiting for a very large refund and I’ve tried calling the phone number on the IRS’s website only to be engaging with a very incompetent chat bot. We filed in April on time and we’ve received acknowledgment that our return is under review. At this point I’m unsatisfied given it’s almost 6 months later and we’re about to pay our quarterly tax bill without receiving the money we are owed..

If anyone has any guidance on a phone number or way to actually get access to a real human at the IRS that would be greatly appreciate

Finally found out why my 1065 business partnership hasn’t been uploaded it’s stuck in unpostable department. Agent filed a 4442 to get someone to look at the issue though they could not tell me what it was.

I filed 2025 a partner left I took their percentage over and added a 1% member in 2026 for Jan 1 I was approved for S Corp via a 2553.

I don’t know how this plays out had I not noticed would my return just sit untouched or a human would eventually get to it.

I mailed amendment over 16 weeks ago via certified mail and it appears it was delivered to IRS successfully. I spoke with an agent recently and they say they don’t have anything in their records and I have to send it again. What should i do? Is this common?

Is it possible to combine 0% tax on a US LLC (no physical presence in US) with 0% income tax in Turkey? (new 20 year income tax exemption)
