What our attendees are saying…
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) will be available to assist taxpayers with unresolved IRS tax problems. Our goal is to provide personalized, step-by-step guidance. If your tax problem meets TAS case criteria, we’ll assign a Case Advocate to work directly with you.
To discuss a client’s tax matter at the event, please ensure you have the proper authorization form. You will need either a Form 2848, Power of Attorney, or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization.

TAS is an independent organization within the IRS. TAS helps taxpayers resolve tax problems, recommends changes to prevent future tax problems, and protects taxpayer rights. TAS’s services are free to taxpayers who are:
