How do you contact the IRS?

A person can contact the Internal Revenue Service toll-free at 800-829-1040, according to USA.gov. People using TTY devices should use 800-829-4059. The IRS mailing address is 1111 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20224.

For face-to-face assistance, a person should visit a local office, notes the IRS. Local IRS offices no longer offer return preparation services. Therefore, a person should use IRS Free File, a free software that helps people figure out their taxes. People who have an ongoing issue with the IRS should contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service, which is available in all states. People outside the United States should visit the U.S. Embassy IRS offices in Paris.
