The Virginia Taxpayer Bill of Rights booklet outlines taxpayer rights in contacts with the Department, and contains a wealth of other useful information, forms, and instructions. Intended as a guide to the rights provided in the Code of Virginia under the Virginia Taxpayer Bill of Rights, the booklet also describes the role of the Taxpayer Rights Advocate and the agency's collections, office audit, and field audit processes in detail. The field audit section also covers the basics for offers in compromise and administrative appeals. The booklet's appendices include forms and instructions for submitting an appeal or an offer in compromise, plus forms for designating a power of attorney.

The Virginia Taxpayer Bill of Rights booklet is a valuable resource for both taxpayers and tax professionals. Be sure to bookmark or download a copy of the booklet for your tax reference library.
