All Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) now operate by appointment. When calling to schedule an appointment, customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Virtual Assistance provides a safe, secure environment for taxpayers to get service in a face-to-face setting without visiting a traditional TAC. Virtual assistance involves taxpayers interacting with live assistors located in a different geographic location via an IRS computer. This method of face-to-face service is now available at selected IRS partner locations.

Caution:  Many of our offices are located in Federal Office Buildings. These buildings may not allow visitors to bring in cell phones with camera capabilities.

Hours of operation are subject to change.

Partnerships

IRS and organizations all over the country are partnering to assist taxpayers. Through these partnerships, organizations are also achieving their own goals. These mutually beneficial partnerships are strengthening outreach efforts and bringing education and assistance to millions.

Organizations interested in operating a free tax preparation site through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs may consider applying for a VITA or TCE Grant.

Anyone interested in volunteering to prepare free tax returns can read how to become an IRS Tax Volunteer, or if you need to find a volunteer site to have your tax return prepared absolutely free, go to Free Tax Return Preparation for you by volunteers.
