General information about making a FOIA request

NOTE:  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tax Division has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission as effectively and efficiently as possible while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of our staff.  As a result, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgment as well as a substantive response to your FOIA request.  We will be able to acknowledge requests made electronically more quickly than by mail.  You may reach out to our FOIA Requester Service Center and FOIA Public Liaison if you have any questions about your request.  The Tax Division apologizes for this inconvenience and appreciates your understanding and patience.

1. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552) and Department of Justice regulations, any person may request Tax Division records.
2. All FOIA requests must be made in writing, signed, and mailed to the above address. Alternatively, all requests made pursuant to items 2 and 3 may be electronically sent to TaxDiv.FOIAPA@usdoj.gov. All attachments to e-mail requests must be attached as pdf files.
