IRS Seeks Input on "Systemic Tax Issues"

Wednesday, May 12, 2004

The IRS today invited Tax Profs, tax lawyers, and taxpayers to bring "systemic tax issues" to the attention of the IRS's Taxpayer Advocate Service via the Internet. Advocacy projects will be initiated on those items that affect multiple taxpayers and relate to IRS systems, policies, and procedures. The advocacy projects developed from these issues are designed to accomplish four fundamental goals:

• Protecting taxpayer rights

• Easing or preventing taxpayer burden

• Ensuring equitable treatment of taxpayers

• Providing essential services to taxpayers
