Bill > HR8067

This bill, the Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help Act, amends the Internal Revenue Code to require the IRS to provide more detailed and specific information in notices of math or clerical errors on tax returns. The bill mandates that these notices must be sent to the taxpayer's last known address, describe the error in plain language, provide an itemized computation of any adjustments to be made, and display the date by which the taxpayer may request an abatement of the assessment. Additionally, the bill requires the IRS to establish procedures for taxpayers to request such abatements and to implement a pilot program to send certain error notices by certified or registered mail with electronic confirmation of receipt, with the goal of improving taxpayer response and reducing unnecessary assessments.
