everything possible to resolve your problem. Here's why we

TAS is an independent organization within the IRS.
Our advocates know how to work with the IRS.
Our services are free and tailored to meet your needs.
We have offices in every state, the District of Columbia,
and Puerto Rico.
How can you reach us? If you think TAS can help you,
call your local advocate, whose number is in your local
directory and at Taxpayer Advocate, or call us toll-free at
1-877-777-4778.
How else does TAS help taxpayers? TAS also works to
resolve large-scale, systemic problems that affect many
taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues, please
report it to us through our Systemic Advocacy Management
System
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP). The TAP listens to
taxpayers, identifies taxpayer issues, and makes
suggestions for improving IRS services and customer
satisfaction. If you have suggestions for improvements,
contact the TAP toll free at 1-888-912-1227 or go to
www.improveirs.org.

Phone. Many services are available by phone.
Ordering forms, instructions, and publications. Call
1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) to order current-year
forms, instructions, and publications, and prior-year forms
and instructions (limited to 5 years). You should receive your
order within 10 days.
TTY/TDD equipment. If you have a hearing or speech
disability, and have access to TTY/TDD equipment, call
1-800-829-4059 to order forms and publications. You can
also access the IRS through relay services such as the
Federal Relay Service at www.gsa.gov/fedrelay.
TeleTax topics. Call 1-800-829-4477 to listen to
pre-recorded messages covering various tax topics.
Evaluating the quality of our telephone services. To
ensure IRS representatives give accurate, courteous, and
professional answers, we use several methods to evaluate
the quality of our telephone services. One method is for a
second IRS representative to listen in on or record random
telephone calls. Another is to ask some callers to complete a
short survey at the end of the call.

How To Get Forms, Publications, and Other
Assistance
Because the IRS processes paper forms by
machine (optical character recognition equipment),
CAUTION
you cannot file Form 1096 or Copy A of Forms 1097,
1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, or 5498 that you print from the IRS
website. However, you can use Copy B from those sources
to provide recipient statements.
