Understanding the Taxpayer Bill of Rights – Know Your IRS Protections
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights – What Every Taxpayer Should Know
As a taxpayer, you have important rights when dealing with the IRS. Many individuals are unaware that the IRS has established a Taxpayer Bill of Rights that outlines 10 fundamental protections designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and due process.
🚨 Understanding these rights can help you:
✔ Challenge IRS decisions and get a fair review.
✔ Protect your personal and financial information.
✔ Ensure you are only paying what you legally owe.
✔ Receive professional and courteous treatment from the IRS.
At Tactical Tax Group, we help taxpayers understand and exercise their rights to prevent IRS overreach and unfair treatment.
