Protecting taxpayers from IRS errors: more time for overpayment refunds.

This act aims to protect citizens by extending the time they have to file for a tax overpayment refund if the error was due to negligence or misconduct by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This means if the IRS makes a mistake that prevents you from filing documents on time, you won't lose your right to a refund. These changes apply to tax returns filed after the act's enactment date.
