Totally different experience with the IRS. My one phone call with them was an excellent experience. I got someone much much more knowledgeable than me who quickly and clearly walked me through what I needed. My colleague has had a similar experience.

Had a family member who was audited by the IRS every year for years. Each time IRS received a tax lesson. Only stopped when family member got US Representative and both Senators to lean on the IRS.

  It's funny how supposedly "random" computer systems can somehow target an individual. I had an issue with a sheriff's deputy pulling my wife over on her way home from work twice a week for a month. Same deputy each time, and unfortunately my wife couldn't take another route. The deputy would only say she looked suspicious and then ask her personal questions. I mentioned it to my boss, who was formerly an important person in the region, and he made a phone call. My wife never saw the deputy again. In what I can only assume was retaliation, I suddenly got called for jury duty. Every other week. After the sixth notice, I mentioned it to my boss. He made a phone call, and put me on a list of people who should never be pulled for jury duty (for celebrities, etc...) in that county. We moved to another state a few months later. Computers sometimes seem to make the system easier to corrupt, rather than keep it from being corrupt.

As an Australian my experience of the IRS has thankfully been limited (not as limited as it should be), but each time I have had the misfortune of calling them they have just read out in a monotone the text on their websites word for word. Maybe my experience is because I am not a US tax payer, but it certainly wasn't helpful.
