IRS Partner Headliners 169 - Stakeholder Ideas Needed To Address the Tax Gap
Earlier this year, the IRS announced in IR-2006-28 an estimate of the tax gap for tax year 2001. The overall gross tax gap – the difference between what taxpayers should have paid and what they actually paid on a timely basis – came to $345 billion. IRS enforcement activities, coupled with other late payments, recover about $55 billion of the tax gap, leaving a net tax gap of $290 billion for 2001.
A number of critical actions and proposals have been initiated to reduce the tax gap, but more is needed. We value your feedback and suggestions. If you have an innovative recommendation on how the IRS can further impact the tax gap while imposing little burden on taxpayers, please share your idea with your Stakeholder Liaison local contact .
