Give the Taxpayer Advocate more resources and strengthen taxpayer rights
What the document says“Congress should provide the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate with greater resources”
The chapter says legal protections for taxpayer rights and privacy remain inadequate, and asks that interest on overpayments match interest on underpayments rather than the government receiving a higher rate, that the time limit for suing over improper collection be extended, that the Tax Court's jurisdiction be expanded, and that the penalty structure be rationalized with the most punitive penalties reduced.
What the document actually says“Congress should provide the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate with greater resources”
Give the office that helps taxpayers more money to work with.
One office helps people the tax agency has treated wrongly. The book says it needs more staff and money.
