An “IRS appointment phone number” is a telephone contact number specifically designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for scheduling in-person appointments at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC). For instance, the IRS appointment phone number for the TAC in Manhattan, New York, is (212) 620-3950.
Scheduling an appointment with the IRS by phone offers several benefits. It allows taxpayers to plan their visit in advance, reducing wait times and ensuring they receive personalized assistance from an IRS representative. Historically, the IRS implemented online appointment scheduling in 2016, providing taxpayers with an alternative to phoning for appointments.
