- The IRS Oversight Board is a nine-member board established by the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 to oversee the Internal Revenue Service. It usually meets four times a year. The board made recommendations such as delaying the IRS target for taxpayers who file electronically, and giving electronic filers more time, and opposing the idea of contracting debt collection to private companies. The board released an Annual Report to Congress as well as an annual Taxpayer Attitude Survey. The survey covered topics like how Americans felt about cheating on taxes. The board was criticized as acting more like an advisory board, rather than providing meaningful independent oversight. Operations of the board has been suspended since 2015, due to the lack of a quorum. There are various legislative proposals to revamp the board (S. 3278), or to eliminate it completely (H.R. 5370). Senators Rob Portman and Bob Kerrey, who were involved in writing the 1998 bill, both supported revamping the board, but were strongly opposed by the Clinton administration. The president of the National Taxpayers Union also supports restoring the board. (en)
