U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) have introduced legislation aimed at improving experiences for taxpayers. The Taxpayer First Act of 2019, is intended to modernize the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and strengthen taxpayer protections.

Taxpayer First Act of 2019Here’s a quick peek at some of the provisions in the bill:Under the proposed legislation, an Independent Office of Appeals would generally be available for all taxpayers as part of the administrative review process. Additionally, the bill would allow taxpayers access to “the case against them,” meaning that the IRS would be required to provide certain individual and business taxpayers with their case files, if requested, before any dispute resolution process begins .

If much of this sounds familiar, it is: a similar bill was introduced last year . They’re trying again - with some key additions and changes. “There’s no federal agency Americans interact with more than the IRS, and it’s critical that it be reformed and modernized to better serve taxpayers,” Wyden said. “Our bill would strengthen tax-preparation services for low-income Americans, improve agency technology and better protect taxpayers’ personal data. This legislation has strong bipartisan support and I’m hopeful it will be passed without delay.

The bill has been discussed in the House Ways and Means Committee, as well as the Senate Finance Committee. The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to vote on the bill next week.
