With Republicans eager to cleave the agency of its new funding, it wouldn’t be great for the IRS if it were found to be cutting corners in its ramped-up enforcement efforts.
As we’ve reported before, tax law requires that a revenue agent at the IRS must get the approval of their supervisor before sending out notice of penalties to a taxpayer.
According to filings summited to the Tax Court by the partnerships, a revenue agent at the IRS emailed his supervisor on July 12, 2021, asking for approval for penalties against the partnerships — but without detailing exactly what penalties he planned to assess or the rationale the IRS planned on asserting for the penalties.
A good while later, on March 11, 2022, the revenue agent followed up with his supervisor with “lead sheets” outlining penalties for each partnership and requested that his supervisor sign not with the date of March 11, 2022, but with the older date of July 14, 2021.ask the IRS to admit to the accusations within 30 days, and we’ll have to see where all this leads.
