IRS Math and Taxpayer Help Act: Clearer Notices and Fewer Taxpayer Headaches

Congress has passed the Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help Act (H.R. 998)—a bipartisan reform aimed at improving IRS communication with taxpayers. The bill requires the IRS to make math and clerical error notices clear, specific, and easy to understand. This legislation benefits taxpayers by reducing confusion, helping them respond accurately, and avoiding unnecessary penalties.
