Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, as we continue to adjust our work and personal lives, I am reflecting on the many reasons I have to be grateful. I am especially grateful for my TAS family and so proud of the work they do every day to make a difference in the lives of so many taxpayers. Their empathy, resourcefulness, and innovation are much appreciated.

National Taxpayer Advocate 2023 Purple Book

The National Taxpayer Advocate is releasing the National Taxpayer Advocate 2021 Purple Book.
