Public Reporting

While this location serves as a base for federal investigators and auditors, it is not a walk-in center for general tax inquiries. Its focus is on criminal and administrative investigations, such as threats against IRS employees, tax refund fraud schemes, and misconduct by IRS personnel. The public is encouraged to report suspected tax fraud or IRS-related malpractice through TIGTA's official hotlines and online portals rather than visiting the field office directly. 📞🚫
