Understanding the Taxpayer Advocate Service

by | Nov 17, 2024

Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be for individuals and businesses to deal with the IRS. While the IRS has some great resources, like the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), many clients come to me because they need a personal touch and someone who can handle every aspect of their tax resolution journey. Let me explain why, even with TAS available, working with my firm is often the best choice.

What Is the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)?

TAS is an independent office within the IRS designed to help taxpayers who are struggling to resolve issues through normal IRS channels. Their mission is to ensure you’re treated fairly and that your taxpayer rights are protected. They handle cases like delayed refunds, IRS errors causing financial strain, and situations where the IRS has been unresponsive.

Each state has at least one local TAS office, and their services are free, making them a great resource for some taxpayers. But their scope is limited—and that’s where I come in.

Why Clients Come to Us Instead

While TAS is helpful, many of my clients find that their tax issues need a more comprehensive approach. That’s why working with me and my team at M.A. Rubin CPA, PLLC can make a difference.

  1. Expertise You Can Rely On

As a CPA who specializes in tax resolution, I know the ins and outs of IRS procedures and tax laws. When you come to me, you’re not just getting someone to make phone calls or send letters on your behalf—you’re getting a strategy. I take the time to look at your financial situation and find the best solution, whether that’s negotiating a payment plan, reducing penalties, or even settling for less than you owe.

  1. A Personal Advocate Who Works for You

Unlike TAS, which operates within the IRS, I work solely for you. That means my focus is on protecting your interests, not just finding a quick fix. I’ll dig into your case, make sure no detail is overlooked, and stand by you until your issue is fully resolved.

  1. Solutions for Complex Cases

If your tax situation is complicated—like dealing with audits, appeals, or significant back taxes—I’m here to help. TAS can only do so much, especially with high-stakes or multi-layered issues. With me on your side, you’ll have someone who’s seen it all and knows how to handle even the toughest challenges.

  1. Let Me Handle the Stress

I get it—the IRS is intimidating. TAS will help, but they still require you to be deeply involved in your case, which can be stressful and time-consuming. When you work with me, I take that weight off your shoulders. I’ll handle the paperwork, make the calls, and manage the deadlines, so you don’t have to.

  1. Helping You Avoid Future Problems

One of the things I love most about my work is helping clients not only solve their current issues but also stay out of trouble in the future. I’ll help you get on the right track, whether that’s better record-keeping, accurate filings, or creating a plan to manage future tax obligations.

Why I’m Here for You

At M.A. Rubin CPA, PLLC, my mission is to make life easier for my clients. I know that dealing with the IRS can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. When you work with me, you’re getting someone who truly cares about your situation and will work tirelessly to make things right.

While the Taxpayer Advocate Service is a great option for some, I bring the expertise, personalized service, and commitment you need to resolve your tax problems efficiently and completely.

A Final Thought
