(The Center Square) – Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner is pressing for answers regarding the underperforming Richmond Taxpayer Advocate office, which he claims has been underperforming for years due to staffing shortages.
The Richmond Taxpayer Advocate Service office is an independent organization within the IRS that helps taxpayers resolve disputes, navigate audits and access other essential IRS services.
According to the senator, the office operates below full capacity and faces worsening service delays. Warner warned that service levels will only worsen without intervention as additional staff leave and additional federal workforce cuts loom.
