If your refund is different than what you claimed. If the refund amount shown on the Notice of Offset is different from the amount claimed on your joint tax return, contact the IRS to find out why. There should be a phone number on the notice. If not, call 1-800-829-1040.
The âother questionsâ approach. Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM â 7 PM local time Monday-Friday. When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: âRefundâ, or it will send you to an automated phone line. So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for âpersonal income taxâ instead. Then press 1 for âform, tax history, or paymentâ.
