In-person tax assistance will be made available to Mainers in Bangor this week, according to a press release shared by Rep. Jared Golden (D) of the Second Congressional District.

The IRS is scheduled to be in Bangor this week to help with tax law, refunds, payments, transcripts, and forms.

Staff will be available in Suite 20300 of the Margaret Chase Smith Federal Building, located at 202 Harlow Street from July 21 to July 23 between 8:30am to 4:30pm.

Attendees have been asked to bring valid state or federal photo ID. Tax payments will not be accepted.

Appointments may be made over the phone by calling (615) 250-5331.

Tax Assistance Centers (TACs) in Bangor and Augusta are also available to offer support to those who lack stable internet access, need help navigating technology, or otherwise require in-person assistance with their taxes.

Earlier this year, Sen. Collins joined forces with Sen. Angus King (I) and Rep. Jared Golden (D) in urging the IRS to avoid keeping these centers closed.

“TACs provide critical services to rural communities and seniors,” the lawmakers wrote, in part. “We ask that you restaff and re-open the TACs in Bangor and Augusta in a timely manner, and work with the Maine Congressional Delegation on a longer-term strategy to avoid future prolonged disruptions to these services in Maine.”

The centers will be staffed with current IRS employees for now, although the IRS is seeking permanent staff for each of the locations going forward.

Although these centers were originally slated for closure, members of Maine’s congressional delegation urged the federal government to keep them open.

Treasury Secretary Bessent also shared a statement celebrating the reopening of these facilities when it was announced earlier this month.

“Treasury and the IRS remain committed to delivering efficient, accessible services to taxpayers across the country,” Bessent said. “Reopening the Taxpayer Assistance Centers in Augusta and Bangor is an important step toward improving access for Maine taxpayers to support closer to home.”

“I appreciate Senator Collins’ leadership in bringing this issue to my attention and her partnership as we expand in-person services in the great State of Maine,” he added.
