Kentucky Department of Revenue — right here in town
Bowling Green Taxpayer Service Center — 201 West Professional Park Court, Bowling Green, KY 42104
Phone (270) 746-7470. Walk-in help for Kentucky individual income tax: balances, payment plans (including Form 12A200 installment requests), and general account questions. A real state office with real staff — useful, and worth knowing it exists before you need it.
Before you walk into any government office
A note worth taking seriously: everything you tell the IRS or KY DOR becomes part of your account record. For routine tasks — transcripts, payments — that's fine. But if you're there because of a levy, a lien, an audit, or a balance you can't pay, the smart move is a confidential call with a licensed representative first, so you walk in with a strategy instead of improvising one. That's what Bowling Green Tax Resolution is for — free, confidential, and on your side of the desk.
Free and low-cost help beyond the agencies
Kentucky hosts Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) that represent qualifying taxpayers in disputes with the IRS for free or low cost — check the IRS's LITC map for current locations and income limits. During filing season, VITA sites offer free return preparation for qualifying filers. Neither replaces a dedicated representative for complex enforcement cases, but both are legitimate resources worth knowing about.
Common questions
Is there an IRS office in Bowling Green?
There is no IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in Bowling Green itself. The nearest TAC is at 121 W 10th St, Hopkinsville, KY 42240 — about 58 miles away. All TAC visits are by appointment: call 844-545-5640.
What can an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center actually do?
TAC staff provide account transcripts, accept payments, verify identity, and answer procedural questions. They represent the IRS — they cannot negotiate settlements, evaluate hardship defenses, or act as your representative.
Where is Kentucky's tax office in Bowling Green?
The Kentucky Department of Revenue Taxpayer Service Center is at 201 West Professional Park Court, Bowling Green, KY 42104, phone (270) 746-7470. It handles state tax matters in person.
Should I go to the TAC or call a professional first?
If you need a transcript or want to make a payment, the TAC works. If you need strategy — a levy released, a settlement evaluated, penalties abated — talk to a licensed representative first. What you say to the IRS without representation becomes part of your record.
Not sure which office — or whether to go at all?
Describe your situation on a free, confidential call, and a vetted, licensed professional will tell you the smartest next step.
