IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers are now open on special Saturdays for face-to-face help

Select IRS Taxpayer Assistant Centers (TACs) are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on the following Saturdays: February 12, March 12, April 9 and May 14, 2022. No appointments are required.

To see which TACs will be open, visit IRS.gov/saturdayhours. The IRS's Contact Your Local Office site lists the services provided at specific TACs. The TACs will not accept cash payments on these Saturdays.

If someone has questions about a tax bill or an IRS audit, or needs help resolving a tax problem including reconciling advance Child Tax Credit payments, they will receive assistance from IRS employees specializing in these services. If these employees are not available at a specific TAC location, the individual will receive a referral for these services. Taxpayer Advocate Service employees may also be available to assist with issues that meet their criteria.

To arrive prepared, individuals should bring the following information:

  • Current government-issued photo identification,
  • Social Security cards for members of their household, including spouse and dependents (if applicable) and
  • Any IRS letters or notices received and related documents.

During the visit, IRS staff may also request the following information:

  • A current mailing address,
  • An email address and
  • Bank account information, to receive payments or refunds by direct deposit.

Foreign language interpreters will be available where possible. IRS staff will schedule appointments for a later date for Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals who need sign language interpreter services.

The IRS follows Centers for Disease Control social distancing guidelines for COVID-19, and availability may change without notice. People are required to wear face masks and social distance at these events.

Please Note:

If constituents need assistance preparing tax returns please refer them to a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Center (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly location. VITA sites offer free tax help to qualified individuals who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:

  • People who earn $58,000 or less,
  • Persons with disabilities and
  • Limited English-speaking taxpayers.

IRS News Release 2022-26 has the above information and is easily shared on social media. The release is available in multiple languages, hard copies are attached.

Please share this message, but not my contact information, with taxpayers, local officials and agencies, and other stakeholders in your district and state. If shared information generates questions, direct them to IRS.gov or your office can contact me.

Important Reminder: My office will be happy to provide constituents helpful resources to file their tax returns and contacting the Taxpayer Advocate Service for their assistance in obtaining answers from the Internal Revenue Service regarding tax disputes.
