Gotta love it when you wait on hold with the IRS for an hour and when you get through to someone finally they put you on hold to “transfer to my supervisor” and then they just hang up. Unbelievable how unprofessional and incompetent these people are. I do not understand.

They love to hang up. Government workers get these stereotypes for a reason.

Has not been happening lately but did in the past. Yeah, it is a bummer…especially after 1-2 hour wait.

They see it’s you calling again and hang up

Clearly you don’t have the secret phone number that the people retired from IRS who work for Big 4 firms have direct to their buddy inside the IRS….

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.
