The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) acts as a voice between the IRS and the general public. Our mission is to listen to taxpayers, identify taxpayers’ issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS service, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction.
Please be aware that due to the lack of an approved federal budget, all Taxpayer Advocate Service offices across the country are closed. No staff will be available to assist you during this time. Please check your local media for news about when our offices will reopen. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please visit our website at www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov for tax information that may be able to assist you during this time.
