For home, I prefer H&R Block's software

I asked Quora about preferred online tax platforms.  I got this:

For home, I prefer H&R Block's software. It was originally Kiplinger's TaxCut. The interview mode on it does a pretty good job in making preparing a return easy. TurboTax unfortunately has been hacked several times, so I tend to stay away from it.

Today is Wednesday, September 21, 2022, so it's been over 2 months since I submitted my request to set up an installment plan.  I have not heard one word from the IRS.  So I phoned them today @ to learn that the wait would be 30 to 60 minutes.  Oy.  

https://www.irs.gov/payments.  Have been using this link.  Okay, it looks like I need to enter Michael, not Mike.  Enter the 1st window, leave the 2nd PO Box window blank.  Oy.  px 3. 035

It will cost me.  

I tried this phone number: 1-800-829-4933.  Unable to get through.  Got through initially, but subsequent calls are not getting through.  The recording told me to call 800-429-1040.  Got a medical alert recording.  Aggressive too.  Yikes.  

BUSINESS & Specialty Tax Line: 800-829-4933.  I pressed #4 for payment arrangement.
