The Internal Revenue Service has never been anyone’s favorite agency, according to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, but his new legislation may help people detest the I-R-S a little less. Grassley is introducing what he’s calling the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights Enforcement Act.

 

Grassley, a Republican, says he’s introduced similar legislation several times in the past, dating back to the mid-1980s. He says many of the earlier goals have already been met but the now agency needs to have the bar placed higher.

Following recent scandals involving the agency and a boost in complaints about poor customer service, Grassley says it’s clear the I-R-S still needs closer regulation and guidance.

 

Grassley most recently introduced a Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights in June of 2015 which targeted mismanagement and inappropriate conduct by I-R-S employees.
