WASHINGTON - The office of Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) will host an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Small Business Administration (SBA) Assistance Week from Feb. 23 through Feb. 27, with in-person sessions held daily from noon to 3:00 p.m. Central Time at five locations across Missouri's 7th Congressional District. No appointment is necessary.

The assistance week is intended to help constituents address ongoing issues with the IRS and the SBA, including delayed tax refunds, incorrect bills, audits, loan concerns, and other complex matters before the agencies.

While Rep. Burlison's office cannot file taxes on behalf of constituents, district staff can serve as a liaison between constituents and federal agencies by helping resolve communication delays, clarify case status, and cut through bureaucratic red tape. In prior cases, the office has assisted constituents in recovering significant delayed refunds and resolving longstanding issues involving the SBA.

To provide direct support, Rep. Burlison's office will host IRS and SBA Assistance Week at five locations across the district.

All sessions will be held from noon to 3:00 p.m. Central Time.
