🕰️ What to Expect When Calling the IRS
Member Alert: Based on recent experiences from both our team and Gbooks members, here's what you can expect when calling the IRS:
- 📞 Hold times often exceed 60 minutes during peak hours
- 🔁 Calls frequently disconnect before reaching an agent
- 💬 IRS representatives may say, “Our system is down — call back later”
- 📉 It can take 5 or more attempts before you speak with someone who can actually assist
Unfortunately, even basic issues can take weeks to resolve due to high call volume and limited availability.
