Here are eight reasons to stop in and get help at an IRS TAC.
1.
Notices or letters Have you received a letter
or notice and need face-to-face assistance to understand the next step? No
appointment is necessary – just walk in.
2.
Tax Forms Most IRS forms and many publications are available
at your local TAC.
3.
Multilingual Assistance Don't let a language
barrier prevent you from getting necessary tax assistance. Multilingual services
are offered to taxpayers in over 150 languages at IRS TACs. These services are
provided through bilingual employees and an Over-the-Phone Interpreter.
4.
Free Federal Tax Return Preparation
Your local TAC will prepare basic tax returns for those who qualify for EITC or
those whose income is less than $49,000.
5.
Payments You can make payments at an IRS TAC. Be sure you
know the tax period and type of tax the payment covers. If you received an IRS
notice, be sure to bring it.
6.
Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return
Your local TAC can help you prepare Form 2290, accept your payment, and provide
needed receipts. However, taxpayers can now e-file and e-pay their Forms 2290,
adding another item to the long list of things they can resolve without
face-to-face assistance. Publication 4900, e-file and e-pay your Heavy Highway
Vehicle Use Tax fast, accurate, safe, is available for more information.
7.
Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
If you are not eligible for a Social Security Number but need to file a tax
return, an IRS TAC can help. Bring your completed tax return, Form W-7,
Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number and certified
identification documents to the TAC to apply for your ITIN and file your return.
For more information, see Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.
8.
Tax Return and Tax Account Transcripts
If you need a copy of your tax return for financial aid or to obtain a mortgage,
a tax return or tax account transcript will generally meet lending institution
requirements. Federal tax return transcripts are free and are generally
available for the current and past three years
