They always send you a letter which will have an address, a phone number, and a FAX number to contact them to resolve the issue. And, you can resolve tax issues with the IRS on the phone.
You're exactly right RETIREDGUY, the only way they'll talk to you by phone is if you call them. First class letters is the way they mail you but I guess I had a special case that had to be settled in 4 days. Maybe that's why I got a registered letter. But you'r right what you said, thanks!
