~dippee's review of The IRS customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's The IRS customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~dippee: At least the phone number *** ***-**** allowed me get to a live person after ** mins. This is a horrible system. I guess no one likes answering the phone and will keep you holding forever. They still get paid no matter how long the wait is. Does anyone do their job or cover for someone who is actually swamped with work? The company should be ashamed. Good thing I don't need to be anywhere until later.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting The IRS. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a The IRS problem?
~dippee: I'd give them a four out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~dippee: I'd give them a five out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about The IRS's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~dippee: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other The IRS customers?
~dippee: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for The IRS to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~dippee taken from his The IRS customer service problem that occurred on November 20th, 2017.
