Taxpayer Advocacy Panel program to go on temporary administrative suspension

For more than 20 years, the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP), through its team of dedicated volunteer members, has served a vital function in our tax system by advocating for the interests of taxpayers and offering critical feedback to the IRS. The insights and concerns raised by TAP members have historically played an influential role in shaping policies and redefining services that directly affect taxpayers across the nation and abroad. At this time, however, the TAP program will enter a temporary administrative suspension, effective February 13, 2026.

This will include a suspension on the acceptance of new issues and concerns related to improving IRS processes and taxpayer service. Please return to this page for additional updates as they become available.

New Tool Provides Businesses COVID-19 Tax Relief Information Only a Few Minutes

Let the Taxpayer Advocate service help you determine if you or your business may qualify for one or more of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) business tax relief options currently available.

By using the COVID-19 Business Tax Relief tool, anyone who runs a business and has employees, can:

  • Determine if they may qualify for available tax relief,
  • Learn what those tax relief options are, and
  • Get more information on what steps, if any, need to be taken to claim that relief.

To use this tool simply answer a couple of questions. It only takes a few minutes! Based on your answers, it will determine if you may or may not qualify and for which tax relief options. If additional steps are needed to claim these, the tool will provide links to more information, including any forms needed.

Please share this information with other local business owners, friends and family to help businesses stay in business. Or feature the tool on a website, in newsletters, through blogs or social media to help others get more information about how to get immediate tax relief for their business and employees.
