Improved Tax Error Notices: More Clarity for Citizens
New rules aim to make it easier for citizens to understand tax error notices. The IRS will be required to describe errors more precisely and explain their financial impact, helping to resolve issues faster and avoid misunderstandings. Additionally, new procedures for requesting abatements will be introduced.
Key points
Tax error notices will include a detailed description of the error, including its type, location on the return, and an itemized computation of adjustments.
Citizens will receive clear information on how the error affects their income, tax, credits, or refunds.
Notices will include a phone number for automated transcript service and a clear date by which taxpayers can request an abatement of assessments.
The IRS will implement new, easier ways to request abatements, including in writing, electronically, by phone, or in person.
A pilot program will be conducted to send notices via certified or registered mail with e-signature confirmation to assess its effectiveness.
