I am writing to let you know about two upcoming events that may be of interest.

IRS Taxpayer Advocate Forum in Schenectady

This Tuesday, February 19, 2019, my office will be hosting a public forum with the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service at Phyllis Bornt Branch Library & Literacy Center in Schenectady. The goal of the event is to help taxpayers file their returns and understand the resources available to them, in addition to outlining significant recent changes to federal tax law. A case advocate will also be on-site to answer any individual tax questions not covered in the presentation.
