IRS offices in New York
The IRS operates Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) for in-person tax services. New York has 18 TACs.
TACs handle:
- ITIN applications (Form W-7) — a TAC with ITIN services reviews your completed Form W-7, authenticates most supporting documents and mails your application package, all for free. A TAC is not a Certifying Acceptance Agent: the IRS lists CAAs as a separate, fee-based option
- Identity verification for tax returns
- Account problems and balance-due payments
- Tax law questions (limited; most are routed to phone or IRS.gov)
- Tax form pickup (no appointment needed)
- Prior-year returns — drop-off by appointment; TACs no longer prepare returns
⚠️ Most TAC services require an appointment — the IRS exceptions are making a non-cash payment, picking up blank forms and dropping off a current-year return. Call the local office below OR the IRS appointment line at 844-545-5640.

In-person ITIN document review at IRS offices in New York
The IRS page IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers providing in-person ITIN document review (marked “Page Last Reviewed or Updated: 24-Aug-2026”; checked October 15, 2026) lists these New York offices: Albany, Bethpage, Binghamton, Bronx, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Elmhurst, Elmira, Hauppauge, Jamestown, New York-Broadway, New York-Harlem, Poughkeepsie, Queensbury, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, West Nyack, White Plains. On that page the IRS says TAC employees “can review your original documents and certified copies from the issuing agencies required to apply and renew for” ITINs, and that “Your documents will be returned to you at the end of your appointment.”
A second IRS page, IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers with ITIN services (marked “Page Last Reviewed or Updated: 25-Mar-2026”, an older date than the list above), does not match it for New York: it does not include Elmira, Hauppauge, New York-Broadway, Queensbury, Utica; it includes Holtsville, which the newer list does not name.
