Face-to-face Tax Help

IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers are your source for personal tax help when you believe your tax issue cannot be handled online or by phone, and you want face-to-face assistance.

If you need to resolve a tax problem, have questions about how the tax law applies to your individual tax return, or you're more comfortable talking with someone face-to-face, visit your local Taxpayer Assistance Center where you can spread out your records and talk with an IRS representative across the counter. No appointment is necessary - just walk in.  If you prefer, you may call a local number (see chart, below) to learn about available and alternate services, and to reschedule appointments with IRS personnel.  If you have an ongoing, complex tax account problem or a special need, such as a disability, an appointment may be requested.  All other issues will be handled without an appointment. 

Note: Before visiting your local office click on “Services Provided” in the chart below to see what services are available.  Services may vary from site to site. You can get these services on a walk-in, non-advance appointment basis.

Multilingual assistance is available in every office.  Hours of operation are subject to change.

Call 1-877-777-4778 elsewhere, or see  Publication 1546 , The Taxpayer Advocate Service of the IRS.
