I have just read a good article in the Edison-Metuchen Sentinel online entitled, “IRS to hold Saturday open house in Edison”. If you are not exactly tax-savvy, you may want to think about reading this article and attending the IRS’s Open House this Saturday, September 25. This open house will take place at the IRS office at 100 Dey Place in Edison from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. In all, 100 IRS offices in the U.S. will be holding open houses this Saturday.
The purpose of this open house is to help taxpayers, especially disabled, elderly and veteran taxpayers, solve their tax problems and respond to IRS notices. According to IRS Commissioner, Doug Shulman, many taxpayers are very successful at solving their tax issues at these open houses.
IRS location will be able to help taxpayers with issues concerning notices and payments, preparing tax returns, audits and a variety of other issues. Anyone who has received a notice from the IRS will be able to speak with an IRS employee to get answers and explanations on how to satisfy the request. Taxpayers who are unable to pay their due balances can learn whether they can reach an installment agreement and if so, they can fill out the paperwork at the same time. There will also be assistance with offers-in-compromise. Offers-in-compromise are agreements between the IRS and the taxpayer where the IRS settles the taxpayer’s debt for less than the full amount owed. IRS employees will also be able to help taxpayers who are having problems filling out forms.
Taxpayers who require special attention such as interpretation for the hard of hearing or deaf, should call the Edison Taxpayer Assistance Center at (320 – 572- 9752 and schedule an appointment ahead of time.
