You can get help from IRS in several ways.
Free publications and forms.
To order free publications and forms, call 1-800-
TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676). You can also write
to the IRS Forms Distribution Center nearest you. Check your income
tax package for the address. Your local library or post office also
may have the items you need.
For a list of free tax publications, order Publication 910,
Guide to Free Tax Services. It also contains an index of
tax topics and related publications and describes other free tax
information services available from IRS, including tax education and
assistance programs.
If you have access to a personal computer and modem, you also can
get many forms and publications electronically. See Quick and
Easy Access to Tax Help and Forms in your income tax package for
details.
Tax questions.
You can call the IRS with your tax questions. Check your income tax
package or telephone book for the local number, or you can call
1-800-829-1040.
TTY/TDD equipment.
If you have access to TTY/TDD equipment, you can call
1-800-829-4059 to ask tax questions or to order
forms and publications. See your income tax package for hours of

Evaluating the quality of our telephone services.
To ensure that IRS representatives give accurate, courteous, and
professional answers, we evaluate the quality of our "800 number"
telephone services in several ways.
- A second IRS representative sometimes monitors live
telephone calls. That person only evaluates the IRS assistor and does
not keep a record of any taxpayer's name or tax identification
number.
- We sometimes record telephone calls to evaluate IRS
assistors objectively. We hold these recordings no longer than one
week and use them only to measure the quality of assistance.
- We value our customers' opinions. Throughout this year, we
will be surveying our customers for their opinions on our
service.
Evaluating agency enforcement actions.
The Small Business and Agriculture Enforcement Ombudsman and 10
Regional Fairness Boards were established to receive comments from
small business about federal agency enforcement actions. The Ombudsman
will annually evaluate the enforcement activities and rate each
agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on
the enforcement actions of the IRS, call
1-888-734-3247.
