The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the IRS that ensures fair treatment for every taxpayer and provides assistance for unresolved tax problems. Their advocates help taxpayers navigate the complex tax system and protect their rights, while also recommending changes to Congress to prevent future issues.
TAS offers a range of resources, including help with specific tax issues such as paying taxes, filing returns, interacting with the IRS, and more. They also provide free tax preparation assistance for qualifying taxpayers and connect individuals with Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) for further support. Additionally, TAS promotes the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which outlines the rights and protections of taxpayers embedded in the tax code.
