National Taxpayer Advocate Releases Report to Congress
WASHINGTON — National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson today delivered a report to Congress that identifies the priority issues the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate will address in the coming fiscal year. These issues include the rules governing the use or disclosure of tax return information by return preparers, a recently imposed requirement that taxpayers submitting lump-sum offers in compromise make a down payment of 20 percent of the amount of the offer, IRS guidelines in evaluating “non-hardship effective tax administration” offers, and the importance of safeguarding taxpayer rights as the IRS rolls out its private debt collection initiative. Olson also released a report, presented as Volume II, that examines the role the IRS plays in facilitating the refund anticipation loan (RAL) industry, and makes recommendations to improve refund delivery to taxpayers, including the “unbanked.”
The Advocate’s report, which is required by law, notes that the IRS is under significant pressure both to reduce the tax gap and to maintain and improve taxpayer services. The report commends the IRS for adopting a more strategic approach to these objectives. “I am concerned, however, that the IRS is approaching its taxpayer service and enforcement initiatives on almost entirely separate tracks,” Olson writes. “[I]n the IRS today, enforcement employees work on enforcement initiatives and taxpayer service employees work on taxpayer service initiatives, and never the twain shall meet.” Citing the offer in compromise as an example, Olson maintains that incorporating high quality service within enforcement initiatives will ultimately help bring non compliant taxpayers into compliance and thus reduce the tax gap.
The report sets out the objectives of the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate for the upcoming fiscal year and provides substantive analysis of issues as well as statistical information. Read more at irs.gov
