Has anyone received an IRS Form 8009? What is the form for?

Question

I received a Form 8009 from the IRS. I tried to call them at the number listed. Stayed on "hold" for 45 min & still didn't get an answer.

Answer 1

You received a form that is supposed to tell you *why* the IRS hasn't been able to complete your tax return.

It's supposed to say something like, line 12 of your tax return didn't make sense, please explain the amount and source.

Then you mail your answer back in.

Answer 2

To get a human being, call the IRS at 1-800-829-3676,or, if the notice is in regard to a business, call 1-800-829-1105.  If no luck, you may want to call 1-800-829-1040.  You may only have to wait 15-20 minutes now.    You could go to your local IRS office.  Now that tax season is over, you should be able to see an IRS representative without having to set up an appointment for a future date.

I see 3 possibilities:

1)  You mean an IRS Form 8809, Information Return.  The IRS wants info from you regarding W-2, 5498s, 5498-ESA, 1098s or 1099s.

2)  You mean an IRS form 8109-B.  That's the booklet.  You just commenced a business.

3)  You mean an IRS Form 8508. You are a business that filed a Request for Waiver From Filing Information Returns Electronically/  Magnetically
