IRS extremely delinquent in responding to taxpayer complaints about tax preparers
The US Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration issued a recent audit noting that the IRS was slow in responding to taxpayer complains about tax preparers. Given the results of the audit, I would suggest they are not slow but extremely delinquent in reviewing this area as over 4,000 complaints of 8,354 have not even been started. Further, the report goes on to say that even in those complaints that were started, the IRS was having trouble making sure that the complaints were handled appropriately. This is like a slow, small halfback in football, not what a football team needs or what the US taxpayers deserve. As tax preparers handle more than half of all returns and are responsible for much fraud especially related to identity theft and tax refunds, it is imperative that these issues be addressed immediately. When is the IRS going to get its act together and when is Congress going to give the IRS the funds it needs to address this important area.
