AICPA Encouraged by IRS Announcement, Continues to Urge Further Action
Washington, D.C. (February 10, 2022) – American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) released a statement following the announcement by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) yesterday to suspend all automated notices:
“We are encouraged by recent actions taken by the IRS to suspend more automated notices and pleased to know that the IRS is listening and acting. Taxpayers, practitioners and IRS will benefit from reducing unnecessary contact, such as erroneous notices or warnings of levy, and provide much-needed relief during an already stressful and overwhelming tax season. This is a welcome step. We continue to urge the IRS to consider additional recommendations for relief by providing longer account holds, easier reasonable cause relief and expanded payment safe harbors until the IRS can significantly and meaningfully reduce their processing backlog.”
