Tax Practitioner Priority Service Line Issues

[ETax847]

I've tried call the TPP Service Line over the past 3 days, but keep getting a message to try again later due to high call volume.  Does anyone know a work around? Or have you had any luck getting through?

have you tried really early in the day or later in the afternoon?  other than that I have no other suggestions

This works every time for me.  I start dialing the number 1 minute before they open.   After you get the recording hang up and keep hitting redial and you will be right up there in the queue when they open.  Keep this a secret because if everyone does it we're screwed.

For a while now, I no longer play Superman for my client’s, I call when I get a chance and if the system hangs up, I try again when I get a chance, two weeks has been the max so far.

I use enQ service which gets me through in less than 2 minutes.  However, I pay them $50/m for the service which gives you 240 minutes. Unused minutes are rolled over.  If you make 2 or more calls per month it is worthwhile.
