Taxpayer Advocate Service is an Independent Organization
3.24.20.2 (01-01-2023) Taxpayer Advocate Service is an Independent Organization The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), led by the National Taxpayer Advocate. Its job is to protect taxpayers' rights by striving to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and knows and understands their rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR). TAS offers free help to taxpayers, including when taxpayers face financial difficulties due to an IRS problem, when they are unable to resolve tax problems, when they haven't been able to resolve on their own, or when they need assistance to address an IRS system, process, or procedure that is not functioning. TAS has at least one taxpayer advocate office located in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Taxpayers have the right to expect the tax system to consider facts and circumstances that might affect their underlying liabilities, ability to pay, or ability to provide information timely. Taxpayers have the right to receive assistance from the Taxpayer Advocate Service if they are experiencing financial difficulty or if the IRS has not resolved their tax issues properly and timely through its normal channels. Taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous, and professional assistance in their dealings with the IRS, to be spoken to in a way they can easily understand, to receive clear and easily understandable communications from the IRS, and to speak to a supervisor about inadequate service.
TAS Service Level Agreement
3.24.20.2.1 (01-01-2025) TAS Service Level Agreement The National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA) reached agreements with the Commissioners or Chiefs of the Taxpayer Services (TS) Division, Small Business & Self-Employed (SB/SE) Division, Tax Exempt & Government Entities (TE/GE) Division, Criminal Investigation (CI), Independent Office of Appeals and Large Business and International Division (LB&I) Divisions. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) outlines the procedures and responsibilities for the processing of Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) casework when either the statutory or the delegated authority to complete case transactions is outside TAS. The purpose of this SLA is to identify a set of processing customer service targets which the TS and the Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) operating divisions agree are an acceptable level of service for the term of the agreement. The TAS SLA is located in IRM 25.30.7, Service Level Agreement between the Tax Exempt & Government Entities Division and the Taxpayer Advocate Service. Procedures are in IRM 13, Taxpayer Advocate Service.
Operations Assistance Requests (OAR)
3.24.20.2.2 (01-01-2025) Operations Assistance Requests (OAR) The TAS uses Form 12412 , Operations Assistance Request (OAR), to start the OAR process of referring a case to the (TS) Division, to affect their solution of the taxpayer's problem. For more information, refer to IRM 13.1.19, Advocating With Operations Assistance Requests (OARs). For cases requiring an OAR: TAS will complete Form 12412 and forward the case to the Operating Division Liaison using Form 3210, Document Transmittal. The Operating Division Liaison will review the case, assign it to the appropriate area, and monitor the case through its conclusion. Make every effort to acknowledge and resolve the requested OAR actions within the SLA time frames as listed on Form 12412. EXPEDITE PROCESSING •When TAS requests expedite processing, the Operating Division (OD) or Functional Liaison acknowledges receipt within one (1) day of receipt of the OAR involving any TAS case that has EXPEDITE notated under the actual Criteria Code in the Criteria Code box on the Form 12412 by using Form 3210, secure e-mail, facsimile, or by telephone to acknowledge receipt and to provide the name and phone number of the IRS employee assigned to work the case. •The OD/Functional Liaison will provide, within three workdays of acknowledging receipt of the OAR, a decision on whether of not they will provide the relief requested. The decision will be in writing and hand delivered or delivered by facsimile or secure email to the TAS Case Advocate. NON-EXPEDITE PROCESSING •If TAS does not request expedite processing, the OD/Functional Liaison will both acknowledge receipt and to provide the name and phone number of the IRS employee assigned to work the case within three (3) workdays of receipt of a non-expedited TAS OAR by using Form 3210, secure email, facsimile, or by telephone. If necessary, the assigned employee (employee assigned to work the OAR case)/manager may contact the TAS employee and negotiate the completion date for resolving the OAR actions. Assigned employee: If you cannot resolve a taxpayer's case within the requested time frame or by a negotiated extension date, immediately notify your manager. Assigned manager/employee: Work with the TAS contact listed on Form 12412 to agree on time frames based on the case's facts and circumstances. Assigned manager/employee: Discuss the findings and final case disposition recommendation with the appropriate TAS contact. The TAS contact communicates the final decision on the case to the taxpayer. However, you may also notify the taxpayer of the decision. Assigned employee/manager: If you and the TAS contact cannot agree on how to resolve the taxpayer's problem, elevate the disagreement to your manager. The TAS employee will also elevate this disagreement to their manager who discusses it with the appropriate Operating Division manager. Upon case resolution, the TEGE employee to whom the OAR was assigned completes section VI of Form 12412 and returns it to the TAS case advocate. The Form 12412 must be returned within three (3) workdays from the date that all actions are complete and transactions posted. For more detailed information, refer to, IRM 13, Taxpayer Advocate Service.

Check Digit/Name Control
3.24.20.3.3 (01-01-2023) Check Digit/Name Control Enter either the Check Digit (CD) or Name Control (NC). You cannot enter both.
Check Digit
3.24.20.3.3.1 (01-01-2023) Check Digit Do not enter the Check Digit from the scan line. Enter the Name Control and the first handwritten Social Security Number (SSN). If the Employer Identification Number (EIN) is unaltered on a preprinted label, enter the two alpha characters shown to the left of the EIN in the Check Digit (CD) field. You do not need to press <ENTER>. If the Check Digit is illegible, enter the Name Control. The system positions the cursor on the EIN field. Enter the EIN. If the Check Digit is invalid, the error message "INVALID CHECK DIGIT" appears and the cursor will be positioned on the first digit of the EIN. Verify the Check Digit and EIN fields for errors. If you entered the Check Digit incorrectly, press the <F1> key to place the cursor back to first position of the Check Digit field. Correct the Check Digit field. If the EIN is correct, press <ENTER>. If you entered the EIN field incorrectly, correct the field using the normal procedures. If both the Check Digit and EIN fields are correct, press the <F7> key to override.
Name Control
3.24.20.3.3.2 (01-01-2026) Name Control Press <ENTER> at the Check Digit field. The system positions the cursor on the Name Control field. Enter the edited or underlined four-character Name Control in the Name Control (NC) field. You do not need to press <ENTER> if four characters are entered. Note: If needed, see IRM 3.24.37, ISRP System, General Instructions or IRM 3.24.38, Name Control section for additional information. If fewer than four characters, enter those shown and press <ENTER>. If the Name Control is missing or illegible, enter one period (.) followed by <ENTER>. Note: If there is an entry in both Name Control and Check Digit fields, the system only recognizes the Check Digit.
Name Control Check Against Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF)
3.24.20.3.4 (01-01-2023) Name Control Check Against Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) If you enter a document with a Name Control, the system accesses the Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) to determine if the account is already on Master File. Once the SSN or EIN is entered in the SSN/EIN field, the system accesses E-EIF. Screen activity occurs and you cannot make entries into the terminal. When the check is completed, the next prompt appears and you may continue to make entries. Note: If the E-EIF locates the account, the Check Digit appears in the Check Digit field on the screen. The SSN, EIN, Check Digit, Name Control fields bypass verification. If it does not locate the account, the Name Control remains on the screen as entered. This procedure affects all Forms except those with a Tax Class of "077" or "977."
