Good afternoon,

I hope this email finds you well. We all know that tax season can be one of the most stressful times of the year. As we move closer to April 15, I’ve created a new page on my website that provides useful information, tips, and documents to guide you as you file your taxes.

In this new section of my Congressional website, you can find ways to get help from the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), which offers assistance to resolve problems with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You can also view free filing options from the IRS, find forms and publications you may need from the agency, or see if you qualify for free tax help through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

Click here to sign up for regular updates and federal grant announcements from my office.

During tax season, scammers are even more active than they are the rest of the year. If you believe you have been contacted by a scammer pretending to be a representative of the IRS, please click here to report a tax scam.

Recently, I shared my Top 10 Tips to Protect Yourself from Identity Theft. I hope you’ll take the time to view this information or share this email with someone you think it might help.

If you have concerns or questions about this issue or anything else, please don't hesitate to give my office a call or visit my new website at https://tonko.house.gov.

If you would like to receive regular updates from my office please click here to sign up for my e-newsletter.

As always, thanks for reading and please contact me if I can ever be of service to you.  My door is always open.
