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.
