I had to call the IRS today to confirm some 1099-ES payments.
I was placed on hold.
I find it coincidentally ironic that the IRS's hold music is THE NUTCRACKER SUITE.
Either someone had a sense of humor...or a sense of power.
Although they could've just liked the music. But I'm not placing any bets on that.

Hi Merry, It's December and I found your post while searching for proof - because no one believes me, when I tell them the IRS uses a looped version of the Nutcracker Suite for their hold music!
I have to admit that it makes me smile but, it also lulls me into submission. I've gotten "lost" on hold and later discovered that 45 minutes had passed.
I also have to share that this is their music of choice throughout the year. In August, I was following up with information when I dropped off into "Holdland". In order to finish my work, I put it on speakerphone and it had the same effect on my coworkers! People started to twirl past my desk but within a short while we were all suspended in a coma-like state.
I can hardly believe Saturday Night Live hasn't done a sketch on it.
Now I'm wondering if I could get a copy on CD - to play at bedtime for my kids - or, holiday office parties.
Phil
