Do you feel like you are not treated fairly with your taxes and you are not clear about your rights as a taxpayer. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has an independent organization within itself that helps taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. This organization is the Taxpayer Advocate Service or TAS. The job of TAS is to ensure that every taxpayer are treated fairly and that they know and understand their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service or TAS can help taxpayers resolve problems that they can’t resolve with the IRS. TAX service is free. If you qualify for TAS assistance, your advocate will be with you at every turn and do everything possible. TAS can help you if: (1) Your problem is causing financial difficulty for you, your family, or your business; (2) you face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action; (3) you’ve tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date promised.

Your local advocate’s number is at www.TaxpayerAdvocate.irs.gov, at www.irs.gov/advocate, and in your local directory. You can also call us at 1-877-777-4778.
