In order to make an inquiry on a constituent’s behalf with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Senator Kyl must have permission from the constituent in the form of a signed Privacy Act Consent form (pdf, 550K).

The IRS web site is a source for information concerning both individual income and business taxes. You can find publications and tax forms available for download for both the current tax year and previous years.

Arizona state tax forms can be downloaded from the Arizona Department of Revenue web page.

Examples of a tax inquiry Senator Kyl can make on behalf of constituents:

“I have received a notice from the IRS that I underpaid my taxes three years ago. I think they are wrong. Can the Senator look into this?”

With proper written authorization and the appropriate supporting documentation, Senator Kyl can inquire with the IRS about the reported underpayment. After receiving the inquiry, the IRS Problem Resolution Office often asks if it can work directly with the taxpayer, if he or she agrees, to resolve the problem.

Example of a tax inquiry Senator Kyl cannot make:

“The IRS still maintains that I owe back taxes. I am appealing that decision. Can the Senator help me?”

Senator Kyl cannot intervene in any court proceedings under the rules of the Senate. He can only inquire about the status of the appeal and request to be notified when a final decision has been made.
