Twice a year the National Taxpayer Advocate issues reports to Congress. The mid-year report outlines the "key issues, goals and activities of the Taxpayer Advocate Service" for the upcoming government fiscal year.
A summary of the 2014 Objectives Report from the news release:
"The report identifies the priority issues on which the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate will focus during the upcoming fiscal year. The report describes numerous challenges facing the IRS, including:
"Relieving the financial harm suffered by victims of tax return preparer fraud."Conducting adequate oversight of the tax return preparer industry."Providing effective, timely and taxpayer-centric relief to victims of identity theft."Utilizing effective and timely collection alternatives to minimize taxpayer burden while reducing the number and dollar amount of balance-due accounts."Conducting education and outreach to taxpayers about their responsibilities under the Affordable Care Act."Resolving erroneous revocations of the tax-exempt status of small ? 501(c)(3) organizations and failing to provide them with a pre-revocation administrative appeal."Establishing less draconian and more reasonable 'settlement initiatives' for the millions of taxpayers who have legitimate reasons for overseas bank and financial accounts and whose failure to file reports was merely negligent."
