## Facts

### What Is Form 911 Used For?

Form 911 is used to formally request help from the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), an independent office inside the IRS. You'd use it when a tax problem is causing financial difficulty, when the IRS hasn't responded by a promised date, or when an IRS process isn't working as it should.

### Who Should Use Form 911?

Taxpayers who are facing economic harm, an immediate threat of IRS enforcement action, or who have contacted the IRS repeatedly with no resolution should use Form 911. Individuals, businesses, and authorized representatives can all submit a request. What it shouldn’t be used for are frivolous arguments, like disputing the legality of income tax, as doing so can trigger a $5,000 penalty.

### When Is Form 911 Due?

There's no fixed Form 911 due date, since it isn't an annual filing. You should submit it as soon as a qualifying issue arises; for example, once 30 days pass with no IRS response, or once a hardship or enforcement threat becomes real. Filing early gives TAS more time to intervene before the situation worsens.

### What Happens If Form 911 Is Not Submitted?

If Form 911 is not submitted, you generally must continue addressing the issue through normal IRS channels and will not be able to open a TAS case through that form. Penalties, interest, or collection action may continue when otherwise applicable.

Additionally, filing Form 911 does not guarantee relief or automatically stop collection activity, but it allows TAS to review the case and advocate for appropriate action.

### How and Where Do I File Form 911?

You file Form 911 by mailing your completed form to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, 7490 Kentucky Dr., Stop MS 11-G, Florence, KY 41042, or fax it to 855-828-2723. You can also email it directly to TAS and sign the form electronically before sending it. You may also contact your local TAS office for assistance.
