The transient event labeled as TCP J05074264+2447555 recently discoveredtowards the Taurus region was quickly recognized to be an ongoing microlensingevent on a source located at distance of only $700-800$ pc from Earth. Here, weshow that observations with high sampling rate close to the time of maximummagnification revealed features that imply the presence of a binary lens systemwith very low mass ratio components. We present a complete description of thebinary lens system which hosts an Earth-like planet with most likely mass of$9.2\pm 6.6$ M$_{\oplus}$. Furthermore, the source estimated location anddetailed Monte Carlo simulations allowed us to classify the event as due to theclosest lens system, being at a distance of $\simeq 380$ pc and mass $\simeq0.25$ M$_{\odot}$.
