February is the busiest period for calls to the Internal Revenue Service's call center. It is also the peak time for visits to IRS offices for face-to-face tax help. The IRS reminds taxpayers that most answers to their tax questions can be quickly found on IRS.
A good rule of thumb: Call as early in the morning as possible. Phones are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (your local time) Monday to Friday, except: Residents of Hawaii and Alaska should follow Pacific time.
The IRS sends notices and letters when it needs to ask a question about a taxpayer's tax return, let them know about a change to their account or request a payment.
All TACs provide service by appointment. The Contact Your Local Office tool on IRS helps taxpayers find the closest IRS TAC, the days and hours of operation, and a list of services the TAC provides. Once they make an appointment, taxpayers will receive an automated email to the address they provide.
You can call 1-800-829-1040 to get answers to your federal tax questions 24 hours a day. Tax forms and instructions for current and prior years are available by calling 1-800-829-3676.
Tax practitioners with account or tax law questions may call 800-829-8374.
The IRS' contact information is displayed on the CP2000 notice in the top right corner of the letter: Phone number: 1-800-829-8310. Fax: 1-877-477-9602.
