The Office of the Taxpayer Rights Advocate is responsible for protecting the rights of taxpayers during all phases of the payroll tax administration, assessment, and collection process.
If you are having trouble resolving an employment tax issue with your EDD representative, supervisor, or office manager, you can contact the Taxpayer Advocate Office for help. They will review the issue to ensure your rights are protected while also safeguarding the interests of the State. For more information, refer to the Employers' Bill of Rights (DE 195) (PDF).
