Transcript

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.

This comes from the IRS. The IRS continues a multi-year modernization effort and expands electronic filing capacities and digital communication tools. In 2025, taxpayers benefited from the faster processing speeds.

I’m gonna kinda stop right there, because we all live in the real world. You can’t reach an agent on the phone, and you have a difficult time confirming if something’s been e-filed, where the money is actually at. They may be able to get it into the system faster, they still need to expand the telephone system.

So if you need help and you need help contacting the IRS, as an enrolled agent I can represent you. All you have to do is call 615-367-0819.

You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
