Does anyone know how one can get a face to face audit of the IRS, these days? Its not like the old days...getting through, even now, before the tax season is upon us, one has to wait 30 to 45 minutes to get a live person on the phone. In a recent call, the employee who starts off giving an id number, ( I forgot to write it down )...after asking me my question in regard to a letter I received from the IRS on how they responded to my 2015 tax return, asked twice to give him a few more minutes to ponder my tax problem and on the second one, while waiting and listening to the background music for about 10 more minutes till he would get back, I heard a click and right away I knew he disconnected me. That is typical these days, whoever they hire, I wonder on what experience, if they don't know the answer, you get the kiss of death, a click sound, and the proverbial sound of a dial tone. I would love to get a face to face meeting, but it seems impossible these days. If you make a mistake on your tax return, they no longer audit you live..they make corrections to their liking, without mentioning how they arrived on whatever figure they give you. Sure they give you a phone number, but it turned out, they have many different numbers, but they all seem to be tied in to that one office. Most of the time they suggest you go to their web site, but there are problems that one cannot ask on those sites, particularly hoping to make live contact.
