In case you have to call-

the IRS for info, be prepared for the following:

Have the afternoon free.

Listen to 30 options, hope you get the right one

Be put on hold, listening to ballet music

Get to the Dept. you need

Be put on hold, listening to ballet music

Several hours later a live person comes on at 4:20 when they close at 4:30

They will put you on hold listening to ballet music at least 3 times.

4:29, you get your answer.

Can't wait for a National Health Care bureaucracy to let you know if you can have emergency surgery or not.
