Has anybody gotten through to the business tax services IRS line? Every freaking day I can't even get on hold. Can I just call all the lines until I get through to someone?

I had to call a few weeks ago and I swear I called every day for two weeks before I finally got to where it would let me wait on hold to talk to a person

California is hard too

I did 2 weeks ago - called mid afternoon on a Thursday, was on hold for almost 2 hours before I was connected.

I call throughout the day multiple times at once. So I’ll call like 5 times at 9AM, try again in an hour, etc. until I finally get placed on hold or request a call back. It’s been annoying as hell but that’s how I’ve been able to get through.

7 am local time is the trick have POA ready to fax, don’t forget tomorrow is a Federal holiday so no one will answer the phones

I don’t think they open the lines at 7 anymore. I have tried and always get disconnected til 8 am and then it is a magical 15-30 minute wait

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.
