Did you know the IRS offers tax help to taxpayers with unresolved tax issues? The IRS’s Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), an independent organization within the IRS, provides assistance to taxpayers trying to resolve on-going tax problems or looking for answers to their tax questions.

To qualify for the Taxpayer Advocate Service, taxpayers must be experiencing economic harm or significant cost, haven’t resolved their tax within 30 days, haven’t had their tax issues resolved by the date promised by the IRS, or believe that an IRS procedure is not working as it should.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service is your voice at the IRS. The service is free, confidential and personalized, and tax help is available to businesses and individuals.

TAS employees are tax professionals who know how the IRS works and how to navigate it. They will listen to your tax problem, help you understand what needs to be done to resolve it, and see you through the entire process, until your tax problem is resolved.

To resolve your tax issues or just get tax help, find your local IRS taxpayer advocate online or by phone at 1-877-777-4778.

You can learn about your rights and responsibilities as a taxpayer with the IRS tax tool kit.
