IRS & Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the branch of the Department of the Treasury that collects federal taxes. The IRS website is an informative resource if you have questions regarding tax matters.
If you have already contacted the IRS and still not resolved your concern, please fill out the online form at the bottom of this page. Once you have submitted the form, you will be prompted to print, sign, and return a privacy release form to the Dallas office. Constituent caseworkers will initiate a congressional inquiry on your behalf with the IRS in an effort to resolve your problem. A thorough review of your case will be conducted and responded to in accordance with federal law.
If you are writing on behalf of a company or organization, please include your Federal Tax Employer Identification Number in lieu of your Social Security number.
If your issue is time-sensitive, please call the Dallas office at 972-239-1310.

Hardship Situations
A significant hardship is a situation where an action by the IRS, if taken, would prevent a taxpayer from providing for basic necessities such as housing, food, utilities and transportation, or for a business taxpayer to meet basic expenses such as payroll.
If you are suffering significant hardship as a result of the administration of tax law, you may file a Form 911, Application for Taxpayer Assistance Order, with the Taxpayer Advocate Service. Taxpayer Assistance Orders allow the Taxpayer Advocate to intervene, review the facts and circumstances of the case, and take the appropriate steps allowed by law to relieve the taxpayer’s hardship.
IRS Offices in Texas
You may also call or visit a local IRS office for assistance with your concern. The IRS has offices throughout Texas where you can meet with an agency representative. If you would like to visit an office, call the nearest IRS office to schedule an appointment.
