This is the eighth in a series of reminders to help taxpayers prepare
for the upcoming tax filing season.
WASHINGTON – As the tax filing season approaches, the Internal Revenue
Service reminds taxpayers that an appointment is required for in-person tax
help at all IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TAC).
IRS TACs continue to be a vital part of the service IRS provides when a tax
issue cannot be resolved on-line or by phone. All IRS TACs now provide
face-to-face service by-appointment. Instead of taxpayers going directly to
their local TAC, they can call 844-545-5640 to reach an IRS representative, who
is trained to either help them resolve their issue or schedule an appointment for
them to get the help they need.
The Contact
Your Local Office tool on IRS.gov helps taxpayers find the closest IRS TAC,
the days and hours of operation, and a list of services provided. Studies show
most taxpayers visit a TAC to make payments, inquire about a notice, ask about
a refund, get a transcript or obtain a tax form. Many of these issues can be
resolved at IRS.gov without traveling to an IRS office.
Check Publication
5136, the IRS Services Guide for additional information on available
services.
Don’t Wait In Line
Between January and mid-May 2016, taxpayers used IRS.gov nearly 349 million
times to find tax information and assistance. But many taxpayers are not aware
that in addition to various interactive tools, IRS.gov
has resources and answers about many tax matters, some in Spanish.
Tax help is just a keystroke away using the Interactive
Tax Assistant or Publication
17, Your Federal Income Tax, a comprehensive tax guide for
individuals. The IRS
Tax Map allows taxpayers to search by topic or keyword for information.
