Taxpayer Advocate

How's Our Service?

Whether you file a 500EZ or a complex corporate return, you will benefit from knowing your rights as a taxpayer.

The Office of the Taxpayer Advocate is an independent service within the Department of Revenue whose mission is to resolve complex and ongoing individual and business tax problems and to assure that all rights set forth in the "Taxpayer Bill of Rights" are upheld.

The Taxpayer Advocate not only helps resolve taxpayer disputes, but in addition, determines the cause of the problem to assure there is no systemic problem that might affect other taxpayers. If a systemic problem is discovered, we notify the Commissioner and the Director of the applicable division in order to resolve the issue.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFICE OF THE TAXPAYER ADVOCATE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THE FORMAL APPEAL PROCESS EXPLAINED LATER IN THIS SECTION. WE CANNOT REVERSE LEGAL TAX DETERMINATIONS. THE TAXPAYER ADVOCATE SHOULD ONLY BE CONTACTED AFTER THE NORMAL APPEAL PROCESS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE DISPUTE.
