Is the IRS help line down?

Factual Questions
1

I’ve been trying to call 1-800-829-1040 for a while. It keeps telling me that “Your call cannot be completed at this time”.

I was talking to the IRS on this very number earlier this morning.

This site confirms that the number is correct. Can someone else call it up and see if they get through?

I can’t get through on either my cell phone nor land line.

Hopefully I’m not dialing the wrong damn number.

Thanks.

Same thing here.

Maybe try your local office.

Thanks for trying. I was wondering if I was losing my mind. They actually have a 7 day period to send you a PIN if you want to make online estimated tax payments, so that doesn’t help me.

The local office will not give phone service, but will accept walk ins, so I’ll try that.
