Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers’ rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems they haven’t been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning as it should. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

TAS uses Form 12412, Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to start the OAR process of referring a case to the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, to affect the resolution of the taxpayer’s problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, TAS Operations Assistance Request (OAR) Process.

Refer taxpayers to TAS when the contact meets TAS criteria or when Form 911, Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance (and Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order), is attached and steps cannot be taken to resolve the taxpayer’s issue the same day.

The definition of "same day resolution" is within 24 hours. The following two situations meet the definition of "same day resolution" :

The issue can be resolved within 24 hours.

IRS takes steps within 24 hours to resolve the taxpayer’s issue.

When making a TAS referral, use Form 911 and forward to TAS following your local procedures.

See IRM 13.1.7, Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) Case Criteria, for more information.

Exceptions & meaning →

Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) SLA

The National Taxpayer Advocate reached agreements with the Commissioners of the Tax Exempt Government Entities (TE/GE), Taxpayer Services (TS), Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE) Division, Criminal Investigation (CI), Appeals, and Large Business and International (LB&I) that outline the procedures and responsibilities for processing Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or delegated authority to complete case transactions rests outside of TAS. These agreements are known as Service Level Agreements (SLAs).Agreements (SLAs) contains basic requirements for handling TAS-referred cases, and includes specific actions to take on TAS referrals and specific time frames to complete those actions.

The SLAs are found at Service Level Agreements.
