Taxpayers Advocate Service

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that helps taxpayers resolve issues with the tax system. If individuals or businesses experience problems, such as delays, unfair treatment, or difficulties in understanding their tax obligations, they can reach out to the TAS for assistance. The service aims to ensure that taxpayers' rights are upheld and provides support for those facing hardships or complex situations. Additionally, the TAS identifies systemic issues within the IRS to recommend improvements for better service.
