Kristan Barbour
Taxpayer Advocate

I am writing to you today to put in a great word for a person in the state employ. … I needed tax assistance in regard to a disbursement that failed to send the correct funds to the state tax authority. An error was made on both my part and because of that, my mother’s bank account was garnished. My mom has me on her account as she is nearing end of life.
Your tax assistance person Kristan Barbour went beyond the call of duty and helped my Mom recoup her monies. She can now purchase her scripts and her possible last Christmas with her family will be better this year.
Thank you … for having the insight to hire such amazing people.
