Business returns can be difficult to understand and challenging to
prepare. Unresolved tax issues with the IRS can be frustrating, affect
profits and stifle the growth of a successful business.
The Taxpayer Advocate Service, commonly referred to as TAS, is an
independent organization within the IRS dedicated to helping you resolve
and prevent tax problems. TAS was created to ensure tax problems not
resolved through normal channels are promptly and fairly handed. We also
assist with hardship situations created by taxes. Unfortunately, many
business owners have never heard of TAS and, because of this, do not
realize how they can benefit from our services. Perhaps you are someone
who has never heard of us before – why not call us and see if we can
help?
Our service is free. We know the tax system and how to navigate it. Your
tax problem will be assigned to a Case Advocate who will work with you
one-on-one to resolve your concerns. We provide personalized,
knowledgeable service to you. We listen to your situation, explain the
steps necessary for a solution and stay involved until the problem is
resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Last year, Case Advocates nationwide processed 225,000 cases initiated
by individuals and small businesses. Every state has Case Advocates
available to help small businesses solve their problems with the IRS.
You can call or write to your local Taxpayer Advocate, whose address and
phone number is listed in the blue pages of your local telephone
directory and in Publication 1546, How to Get Help with Unresolved Tax
Problems, available online at
www.irs.gov/advocate.
