Independent Office of Appeals is closed
The office is closed until further notice, due to the U.S. government shutdown on Oct. 8, 2025. We’ll provide regular service when government agencies reopen.
The IRS Independent Office of Appeals is here to resolve disputes, without litigation, in a way that is fair and impartial to the government and to you.
