41Dear Taxpayer,
A Message From the
Commissioner
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. notably said “Taxes
are what we pay for civilized society.” We should be proud that the vast
majority of American citizens pay their taxes honestly and of their own free
will. In an ever more complex and global world, we cannot take for granted
this cornerstone principle of our democracy.
For the IRS’s part, we owe it to all taxpayers to make the process of
paying taxes as easy as possible. IRS employees are dedicated to helping
taxpayers to quickly get their questions answered, complete their forms, pay
their taxes, and get back to their lives. From the telephone representative
who answers tax law questions, to the walk-in site employees who help
low-income taxpayers, to the technicians that design and build our web site
– – we are committed to providing top-quality service.
Unfortunately, there will always be some that cheat their fellow citizens
by avoiding the payment of their fair share of taxes. The IRS owes it to the
millions of you who promptly pay your taxes in full to pursue these people
through strong enforcement programs. I believe this is a basic matter of
fairness.
If you need more information about taxes, I hope you’ll visit us online at
, or call us toll free at 1-800-829-1040. Your government works
for you, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you need help.
Sincerely,
Douglas H. Shulman
The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax
responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.
