I was an interexchange student and I can't call the IRS because I'm in Uruguay

Since the IRS only looks at the first 4 letters of your last name ... everything could be dead wrong.    If the first 4 letters are wrong the return will be rejected  and then  you can make the correction and resubmit the return.  Otherwise there is nothing for you to correct and no way to do so if you wanted to do so.

My last name has only 4 letters and I misspelled the third one, I use a ñ instead of a n, the error says that I have to call the IRS but I can’t call from Uruguay.

Was your return rejected?
