If you have an issue with a case of this nature, please contact the IRS or the Taxpayer Advocate Service directly. 6.??Expo Hall The tax forums also feature a two-day expo with representatives from tax, financial and business communities offering their products, services and expertise designed with the tax professional in mind.
