~Anonymous'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.
~Anonymous: If you go thru the live person tax assistant. They gave me a link and told me what buttons to push. I had to wait about ** min but I did get to a person:*To speak to an IRS agent, please first select your language. Once you have selected your language please press prompt * in the first menu, * in the second menu and * in the third menu. Please wait to be prompted before pressing the prompts so it does not put you in the wrong menu. Also, please keep in mind that these prompts may change without notice.**When you make the call to the Individual Tax Questions line, please wait for the menu to speak and then press the appropriate prompt number. Do not enter any personal information even when the system requests it. This will place you in a queue to speak with a live agent.
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?
~Anonymous: I'd give them a three 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?
~Anonymous: I'd give them a four out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about The IRS's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Anonymous: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other The IRS customers?
~Anonymous: 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 ~Anonymous taken from his The IRS customer service problem that occurred on November 20th, 2017.
