Taxpayer Advocate Service Office

Welcome to the Taxpayer Advocate Service Office, located at 1000 Liberty Ave, Room 1400, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, United States. Our office specializes in accounting and finance, serving as an independent organization within the IRS. We are dedicated to ensuring that every taxpayer is treated fairly and is well-informed about their rights.

At the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), our mission is to assist taxpayers who are facing tax problems that they cannot resolve on their own. Our team of experienced advocates is here to provide you with the guidance and support you need to navigate complex tax issues.

We offer a range of resources designed to help you understand and address your tax concerns. These include:

- Free IRS tax preparation assistance for qualifying taxpayers.

- Information on whether your income qualifies for VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) or TCE (Tax Counseling for the Elderly) income tax assistance.

- The Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which is grouped into 10 categories outlining the rights and protections embedded in the tax code.

Our advocacy work is guided by these rights, and we strive to keep you informed with the latest updates through our National Taxpayer Advocate blogs, Tax Tips, and Tax News articles. Quick action by our team means you can have confidence in resolving your tax issues efficiently.

If you have received a notice or letter from the IRS, you can enter the notice or letter number on our website to find out more about it, the actions you may need to take, and where it falls on the taxpayer roadmap.

We are committed to advocating for taxpayers and will be with you every step of the way as we work to resolve your tax issues. If you are aware of a tax issue affecting a large group of taxpayers, please let us know by submitting it through our Systemic Advocacy Management System (SAMS).

As an independent organization within the IRS, the Taxpayer Advocate Service is here to help you resolve problems and recommend changes to prevent future issues. Visit us at our Pittsburgh office or contact us to learn more about how we can assist you.
