The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Validates Taxpayer Identifying Number Format

Checks if the 'Taxpayer Identifying Number' (1b) conforms to the structure of a Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) (XXX-XX-XXXX), or an Employer Identification Number (EIN) (XX-XXXXXXX). This is critical for the IRS to accurately locate the taxpayer's account. An invalid or improperly formatted TIN will prevent the request from being processed and lead to rejection or significant delays.

Verifies Required Signature Presence

Confirms that the form has a valid signature from either the taxpayer (14a) or an authorized third-party representative (Section II, Block 6), and that a date is provided for the signature. A submission is legally invalid without a dated signature. This check ensures that the request is properly authorized before it is accepted for processing, preventing unauthorized requests.

Ensures Core Taxpayer Information is Complete

Verifies that essential fields in Section I, such as 'Taxpayer name' (1a), 'Taxpayer Identifying Number' (1b), a full address (3a-e), and the 'Tax Issue Description' (12a) are not empty. These fields are the minimum required information for the Taxpayer Advocate Service to initiate a case. Failure to provide this information makes the submission unusable and will result in its rejection.

Validates Consistency of Joint Filer Information

This check ensures that if a 'Spouse's name' (2a) is provided for a joint request, the corresponding 'Spouse's Taxpayer Identifying Number' (2b) is also present and correctly formatted. This is important for issues related to joint returns to ensure the IRS can access the correct shared account information. Incomplete spouse information can delay the resolution of joint tax issues.

Enforces 'Specify' Field Completion for 'Other' Selections

This validation checks that if a user selects an 'Other (specify)' checkbox, such as in 'Source of TAS Awareness' (13) or 'Language and Accessibility Preferences' (9), the associated text field is filled out. This prevents incomplete data where the user's intent is ambiguous. Submissions with a checked 'Other' box but no explanation require manual follow-up, causing delays.

Validates Tax Year or Period Format

This check ensures the 'Tax year(s) or period(s)' field (11) is entered in a recognized format, such as a four-digit year (e.g., 2022), a range (e.g., 2020-2021), or a quarterly period. Correctly formatted periods are essential for TAS to locate the specific tax records in question. An ambiguous or incorrectly formatted period will require clarification and delay the investigation.

Common Mistakes in Completing Form 911

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incomplete or Vague Problem Description
In Box 12a, taxpayers often provide a vague or emotional description of their problem, such as 'The IRS is wrong' or 'I need help with my taxes.' This forces the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) to spend extra time investigating the case from scratch, causing significant delays. To avoid this, provide a clear, chronological summary of the issue, including specific dates, notice numbers (e.g., CP2000), actions you've taken, and names of IRS employees you've spoken with. A detailed description allows TAS to understand your situation quickly and begin working on a resolution.
Missing or Incorrect Signatures
Forgetting to sign the form in Box 14a is a frequent error that immediately invalidates the request. Another common mistake is on joint requests, where only one spouse signs (Box 15a) when both are involved in the issue and filed a joint return. An unsigned or improperly signed form cannot be processed and will be rejected, forcing you to start the process over. Always double-check that the appropriate taxpayer(s) or a duly authorized officer for a business has signed and dated the form before submission.
Name and TIN Do Not Match IRS Records
Taxpayers sometimes enter a nickname, a maiden name when a married name is on the return, or slightly misspell their name in Box 1a. Similarly, they may transpose digits in their Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) in Box 1b. Any discrepancy between the information provided and the official IRS records will cause a processing failure, as the system cannot match the request to your tax account. You must enter your name and Taxpayer Identifying Number exactly as they appear on the tax return in question to prevent rejection and delays.
Ignoring Communication Consent Boxes
Many people skip over the consent checkboxes in Boxes 7a and 7b, not realizing their importance. If you do not consent to encrypted email (7a) or voicemail messages (7b), TAS is restricted to communicating via postal mail, which is significantly slower. This can turn a process that could take days into one that takes weeks, as you wait for physical letters to be sent and received. Checking these boxes allows for faster, more efficient communication and can dramatically speed up the resolution of your case.
Unspecified or Unrealistic Relief Request
In Box 12b, filers often write 'Fix this problem' or request relief that the TAS cannot legally provide, such as waiving tax law. This lack of specificity requires the advocate to guess at your desired outcome, potentially leading to a resolution that doesn't meet your needs. Be explicit about the action you want taken, for example, 'Release the levy on my bank account,' 'Approve my Offer in Compromise,' or 'Process my 2022 amended return.' Providing a clear, actionable request helps the advocate focus their efforts on achieving a specific, attainable goal for you.
Taxpayer Incorrectly Fills Out Section II
Section II is exclusively for a third-party representative, such as a CPA or attorney, who has a Power of Attorney (Form 2848). Taxpayers sometimes get confused and fill this section out with their own information or the information of a friend they want the IRS to talk to. This creates confusion and can delay the case, as TAS must then clarify who is authorized to represent the taxpayer. If you do not have a formal, authorized representative with a submitted Form 2848 or 8821, you should leave Section II completely blank.
Forgetting to Attach Authorization Forms (2848/8821)
When a representative fills out Section II on behalf of a taxpayer, they frequently forget to include a copy of the corresponding authorization document, either Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) or Form 8821 (Tax Information Authorization). Submitting Form 911 with Section II completed but without the required attachment is a critical error. By law, TAS cannot communicate with the representative about the taxpayer's confidential information until this authorization is on file, effectively halting the case before it begins.
Incorrect Tax Form Number or Period
In Boxes 10 and 11, people often enter the wrong tax form number (e.g., '1040-EZ' which is obsolete) or an incorrect tax year or period. Forgetting a tax year or listing a range incorrectly (e.g., '2020-22' instead of '2020, 2021, 2022') can lead the advocate to review the wrong account information, causing confusion and wasted time. Always verify the specific form and exact tax year(s) or quarter(s) from the IRS notices you have received. Using an AI-powered tool like Instafill.ai can help validate data formats to ensure accuracy.
Submitting Multiple Duplicate Requests
Out of frustration or anxiety, taxpayers who don't receive an immediate response may submit the Form 911 multiple times for the same issue. The instructions specifically warn against this, as it creates duplicate cases in the system that must be identified and merged. This clogs the processing queue for everyone and can actually delay the assignment of your case to an advocate. The instructions state to wait 30 days before following up by phone, and you should adhere to this to ensure the most efficient handling of your request.
Using an Outdated Mailing Address
A taxpayer may have recently moved and forget to update their address with the IRS, then enter their new address on Form 911. If the new address in Box 3a doesn't match the one on file, it can cause initial verification issues. More commonly, if the taxpayer enters an old address by mistake, they will not receive critical paper correspondence from TAS, leaving them unaware of the status of their case. It is crucial to provide your current, correct mailing address and ensure it is the same one the IRS has on file or update it accordingly. AI form-fillers like Instafill.ai can help by storing and populating your current, verified address consistently across all forms.
