National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson today released her statutorily mandated mid-year report to Congress that
presents a review of the 2018 filing season, identifies the priority
issues the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) will address during the
upcoming fiscal year and contains the IRS’s responses to each of the 100
administrative recommendations the Advocate made in her 2017 Annual
Report to Congress.
The
most significant challenge the IRS faces in the upcoming year is
implementing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), which among other
things requires programming an estimated 140 systems, writing or
revising some 450 forms and publications and issuing guidance on dozens
of TCJA provisions. Ms. Olson expresses confidence that the IRS will
implement the law successfully. “Make no mistake about it. I have no
doubt the IRS will deliver what it has been asked to do,” she writes in
the preface to the report.
