Upcoming Events

Have a tax problem you haven’t been able to resolve with the IRS? The Taxpayer Advocate Service will assist taxpayers at Problem Solving Days.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) conducts Problem Solving Day events in communities throughout the country. During these events, TAS employees from a local office are available to assist taxpayers in person who are –

• Experiencing a financial hardship or having financial difficulties because of a tax problem;
• Trying, but haven’t been able to resolve an IRS tax problem with the IRS; or
• Believing an IRS system or procedure isn’t working.

Do you want to avoid common federal income tax return preparation errors that cause tax return processing and refund delays? If you prepare your own tax return, whether it’s through software or on paper, come visit the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) before you prepare and file your federal tax return.

You are welcome to attend one of our Pre-Filing Season Awareness events and let us put our 20+ years of advocacy experience with the IRS to work for you. We will share tips to avoid common return preparation errors to help you avoid unnecessary processing and refund delays this tax season.

TAS is here to help you with our no cost service to taxpayers.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) assist low income individuals who have a tax dispute with the IRS, and provide education and outreach to individuals who speak English as a second language (ESL).

LITCs can represent you before the IRS or in court on audits, appeals, tax collection matters, and other tax disputes. Services are provided for free or for a small fee.

In order to qualify for assistance from an LITC, generally a taxpayer’s income must be below a certain threshold, and the amount in dispute with the IRS is usually less than $50,000.
