How to Speak to a member of each state's DOR

State customer service numbers can be hard to find and navigating through options can be frustrating. Plus, many states don't provide sales tax info promptly either via email, standard mail or by phone, making it inconvenient when you need it urgently.

• We've taken the liberty of listing each State's customer service number as well as some actions to get you speaking with a representative as soon as possible.
• Please make sure you have your account information handy to expedite the process.
