Taxpayer Advocate Service

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent agency within the IRS that assists taxpayers facing difficulties with tax-related issues. Its mission is to ensure that taxpayers' rights are protected and that they receive fair treatment. TAS offers help with problems like delayed refunds, disputes with the IRS, or complicated tax situations that cannot be resolved through standard channels. Additionally, they work on systemic issues affecting many taxpayers and suggest improvements to the IRS. Ultimately, TAS aims to make the tax system more manageable and accessible for everyone.
