And if your info is flagged for 'further review', it could take 10 minutes to get a human agent on the line. The same thing applies to folks that have set up a Voluntary Appeals File to prevent 'delay' responses...it still requires human intervention.


This fixes, or will eventually fix, all those issues.


Yes, you still have to fill out a 4473.
