At the heart of our organization’s mission lies a commitment to advocacy. Every year, we help thousands of individuals and tax professionals navigate the complex landscape of federal taxes with confidence and clarity. This story is just one of many examples of how the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) helps resolve taxpayer issues. All personal details have been removed to protect the privacy of the taxpayer.

A business’s authorized representative contacted TAS for assistance with a notice of federal tax lien (NFTL). The business filed some amended returns with the IRS to eliminate the tax liability on which the NFTL was filed, and needed the lien released before the end of the year so they could sell some property. TAS immediately began working with the authorized representative and the IRS to get the amended returns considered, using effective communication and negotiation skills with both the authorized representative and the IRS throughout the process.

TAS successfully negotiated with the IRS to have the amended returns accepted and the lien released in time for the taxpayer to move forward with the sale.

Today, tomorrow, and beyond, we remain steadfast in our dedication to making a difference – one taxpayer, one success story at a time. Read more TAS success stories.
