Who's Defending Your Rights?

Taxpayer Bill of Rights

The Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR) is a vital set of principles created to safeguard taxpayers from unfair treatment by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It ensures transparency and accountability within the tax system. Enacted in 1988, the TBOR promotes fairness and clarity by outlining key rights for taxpayers, including the right to be informed, to receive quality service, to appeal decisions, and to maintain privacy. Its core purpose is to empower individuals and businesses by ensuring they are treated with dignity and respect while navigating the often complex and daunting landscape of federal taxation.

By partnering with a tax relief professional who understands your rights and the intricacies of the system, you can confidently stand up for yourself and ensure you receive the protection and representation you deserve as an American taxpayer.
