TAS RECOMMENDATION #8-1

Develop a Tax Forum presentation and communication strategy to better educate return preparers and practitioners about itemized deductions, including recordkeeping requirements.

IRS RESPONSE TO RECOMMENDATION: None given.

CORRECTIVE ACTION: N/A

TAS RESPONSE: Taxpayers have the right to know what they need to do to comply with the tax laws, as part of the right to    be informed.  Although the IRS’s commitment to educate practitioners as part of the AFSP is not exactly  what TAS recommended, it should help to address the concern.  Outreach with the practitioner community  is vital to a successful tax administration system. TAS will continue to work with the IRS to better educate return preparers and practitioners.
