Your rights and IRS
Your rights are outlined in IRS Publication 1. It is important to know your rights when you contact the IRS. Your rights in a matter of tax laws and taxation outlined in IRS Publications include the followings rights:
The IRS should explain your rights during any contact with the IRS
The IRS should explain to you what your rights are during any contact with the IRS. However, in reality, don't leave it to the IRS to explain your rights to you. Know your rights in advance before you contact the IRS so that you can ensure that your tax situation is being handled in the correct and fair manners.
The IRS respects your right to privacy and confidentiality
The IRS will always respect your right to privacy and the confidentiality of the information contained on any tax return. Because there are severe penalties for violating the tax disclosure laws, the IRS is very good at observing your rights in the privacy and confidentiality area.
