It's Time to Fix Critical IRS Issues. Now.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) President David W. Tolleth sent a sobering letter to Treasury Secretary Yellen and all members of Congress over concern about the broken state of the IRS.

"While COVID-19 was the final blow in creating this situation, it was a gradual process brought about by a series?of?stress events on the IRS over the last decade which have chipped away at the foundation?of?our tax administration system," Tolleth said.

Tolleth acknowledged that while NAEA's prognosis will not be popular, policymakers deserve a clear a clear-eyed understanding of the current problems at the agency. 

"For the federal tax administration system to work smoothly," Tolleth stated, "all parts of the agency must be able to effectively do their jobs." 

The NAEA President acknowledged that while more funding is the first solution needed to fix the broken tax administration system, he said a concerted effort on the part of policymakers, IRS leadership, and oversight groups, "is needed to help steer the agency back on track."
