Form 911: Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance
Definition: Form 911 is the official application to request help from the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)—an independent IRS organization that assists taxpayers facing significant hardship, IRS delays over 30 days, or unresponsive actions. It covers issues like stalled refunds, erroneous liens/levies, or systemic problems.
Why It Matters: TAS can expedite resolutions, stop collections, issue Taxpayer Assistance Orders (TAOs), and advocate for fair treatment when normal channels fail. It’s free and doesn’t replace other appeals. If IRS notices (CP504, CP90) or delays are causing financial harm—missed payments, health stress, or business threats—Form 911 is your safety net. Omni Tax Help evaluates your situation, completes and submits Form 911 with compelling hardship details, and coordinates with TAS to deliver fast relief and long-term fixes.
Eligibility Examples:
- IRS error causing immediate economic hardship.
- No response to inquiries after 30 days.
- Threat of adverse action without due process.
What to Do Next:
- Use phone (877-777-4778) for emergencies or mail/fax Form 911.
- Detail hardship and prior IRS contacts.
- We prioritize urgency and track progress.
