Contact the IRS: IRS phone number(s) and where to go for tax help
Are you wondering how to contact the IRS? There are a few reasons why calling the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) directly would be necessary — like questioning a general inquiry or tax refund, making a payment arrangement, or even responding to a tax notice.
Bear in mind that contacting IRS customer service phone lines can sometimes be time-consuming, as they receive a high volume of taxpayer inquiries each day. For this reason, it’s advisable to get tax help from a professional to steer you in the right direction, meaning you may not need to contact IRS representatives.
