I would suggest for them to get rid of themselves!

Just another load of BS smoke and mirrors on the part of the IRS.

Remember a year or so ago, when a guy went on a hunger strike regarding the tax code and the IRS agreed to meet with him but then cancelled because they only wanted him to end his hunger strike?

More of the same, here.

“We are committed to working with taxpayers to improve the customer-service focus of the IRS,”


===

They don't want REAL reform suggestions, just to know how many rings of unanswered phone it takes to really annoy people, so they keep it one ring below that, when they answer the phone.

Looks like no one is buying this IRS 'Dog and Pony show'.

Good...

The only suggestion I have for the IRS is "OUT OF BUSINESS!"

And the only panel I want to be on is the IRS "Garage Sale" panel!

Federal advisory panels have some pretty good track records in many agencies. Not sure how it has been working or would work with IRS. They do have visibility and an agency must work with them and respond to their recommendations. I worked with some advisory panels and they can be effective. They are usually made up of knowledgeable civilians from each major interest group, depending on the agency.

The Internal Revenue Service is inviting civic-minded individuals to help improve the nation’s tax agency by applying to be members of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel. The panel provides a forum for citizens from each state to make suggestions regarding IRS decision making. Whaaaa-a-a-a-at?
Hahahahahaha. This is HILarious.
The IRS will listen to this panel.

They are also selling real estate in Florida.

"In addition, they must be current with their tax obligations and pass a criminal background check."

If that's the case, then a lot of politicians who write tax legislation couldn't qualify to be on this panel!

The IRS isn't the problem. The problem is Congress, which has created the incomprehensible tax code. It is that code's complexity which gives bad IRS agents the ability to abuse people. There are bad people in every organization. Congress is the problem.

They only need one thing to make the IRS perfect, downsize government starting with eliminating the IRS and its $10billion budget.

 

A Taxreform bump for you all.

If you would like to be added to this ping list let me know.

John Linder in the House(HR25) & Saxby Chambliss Senate(S25), offer a comprehensive bill to kill all income and SS/Medicare payroll taxes outright, and provide a IRS free replacement in the form of a retail sales tax:

H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.

Refer for additional information:
