The Taxpayer Bill of Rights protects all taxpayers year-round The Taxpayer Bill of Rights is the 10 rights all taxpayers have any time they interact with the IRS. These rights cover a wide range of topics and issues, and they explain what taxpayers can expect if they need to work with the IRS on a tax matter. This includes when a taxpayer files a return, pays taxes, responds to a letter or notice, goes through an audit or appeals an IRS decision.
Taxpayer Bill of Rights Taxpayers have a right to: - Be Informed – The right to know what to do to comply with the tax laws.
- Quality Service – The right to receive prompt, courteous and professional assistance when working with the IRS.
- Pay No More than the Correct Amount of Tax – The right to pay only the amount of tax legally due, including interest and penalties, and to have the IRS apply all tax payments properly.
