Taxpayer Advocate Proposes IRS Apologies And Payments

Not a bad idea if they also include oppressed tax preparers

-- of which I am not one. However, I shall not hold my breath until it happens.

The advocate also urged that the outside tax collector program be discontinued. In another web article, it was pointed out that predictions were for collectors to raise between $1.5 and $2.2 billion over the next ten years. The IRS now estimates that the private debt collectors reported gross revenue at $31 million for the 2007 fiscal year.

Maybe there's a learning curve, and it'll get made up in the later years.

That is how I begin every examination of one of my clients, asking for an apology and payment of some kind.

"It (IRS) had estimated yearly collections would reach a midpoint average of about $185 million." Long way to go.

Probably somewhere on this Board but can one of you folks please post a link or the URL where the Taxpayer Advocate proposed this? The National head of TAO or "just" a local TA?

I was not aware of this and it may be very relevant to one of my client's imminent seizure of his residence case (which I feel should be closer to apology mode than loss of home mode).

Thanks.

Yes, it was Nina Olsen's annual report which you'll find on the IRS.gov website.
