The Office of the Taxpayer Advocate (OTA) is a unit within the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue dedicated to ensuring that all taxpayers are treated in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with the District’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

OTR’s security measures to safeguard tax dollars and combat ID theft/tax fraud may result in longer processing times for some tax returns and refunds. Processing of returns may take up to six weeks.
