Taxpayer Transparency and Notice Act

The Taxpayer Transparency and Notice Act requires the IRS to send quarterly notices to taxpayers with unpaid tax debts, rather than just once a year. These notices must include an estimate of future penalties and interest if the debt is not paid, along with information on assistance programs available to the taxpayer. The law exempts taxpayers who already have payment agreements, accepted offers in compromise, or who are deemed unable to pay from these quarterly reminders. The changes will not take effect until 24 months after the bill is enacted.
