This bill strengthens the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS), the part of the IRS that helps people solve tax problems. It lets the National Taxpayer Advocate hire in-house lawyers who report directly to that office, rather than through Treasury’s General Counsel, so the Advocate can get legal help more quickly and independently to assist taxpayers . It also broadens the Advocate’s ability to manage TAS staff by allowing personnel actions affecting any TAS employee, not just local offices, aligning the law’s wording to cover “any employee of the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate” . The changes apply as if they were part of a 1998 IRS reform law, to match the original intent of that law.
