Before you call the IRS and get stuck on hold (forever), try their website!
You can do a lot at the IRS’s website. Their publication 5136 is a helpful overview of its functionality. You’ll learn for example how to e-file your tax return for free or how to check the status of your tax refund. There are many other things you can do. *And* you might avoid a long wait on hold if you call the IRS. Wait times are longer than ever given recent budget cutbacks at the IRS. Calling should be a last resort!
