Taxpayer Advocacy Panel annual report

August 18, 2007

My colleagues on the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel have released our 2006 annual report. We got it out a bit later than we wanted, but if you thumb through it, you’ll see why.

As required by the federal law that created TAP, each year we provide a written report describing the Panel’s objectives and a self-assessment of our previous report goals. The 2006 version summarizes 58 new recommendations that TAP generated
for IRS consideration last year.

The report also updates the status of the 250 recommendations TAP has submitted to the IRS since the panel was established in 2002. Many of those changes have been partially or fully
implemented.

As you read the report, and I’m sure you all will, if you think of other areas that need improvement please do, as the TAP motto urges, Speak Up!

You can find out more about TAP, including how to contact our offices, here. And you can read previous annual reports here.

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
