Irs.gov offers an Interactive Tax Assistance (ITA) to assist you with questions that arise when preparing to file your return.
The ITA is a tool that provides answers to several tax law questions specific to your individual circumstances. Based on your input, it can determine if you have to file a tax return, your filing status, if you can claim a dependent, if the type of income you have is taxable, if you’re eligible to claim a credit, or if you can deduct expenses.
The ITA allows you to find topics using a search feature or by viewing a list of categories.
You can make an appointment at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center Office to get help. Appointment times vary by tax issues and office locations.
Once you find your local office, see what services are available or call 844-545-5640 to schedule an appointment.
You can go to www.irs.gov, call the IRS tax law phone line 800-829-1040, or use the IRS forms and publications.
