Some good news was reported yesterday that was overlooked amid the chaos of the president's budget release. The IRS has annouced it will reverse its previous practice and begin notifying taxpayers whose tax returns are being "frozen" under suspicion of tax fraud. The IRS will implement the new procedures this filing season and will take other actions that will seek to address the controversial 'questionable refund program' (QRP) so it does not incorrectly target hundreds of thousands of innocent taxpayer returns. The program has received pointed criticism from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress after National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olsen presented her annual report showcasing the problems of the QRP. Shortly after Olsen presented her report to Congress, IRS Commissioner Mark Everson announced he would look into the program. It's nice to see some good news coming out of Washington these days and the office of the National Taxpayer affecting postive changes. Kudos to Ms. Olsen and her staff!
