Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, as part of the Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) budget request, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) submits to the Congress a congressional justification (CJ), a document justifying the dollars and number of staff positions that it is requesting. For fiscal year 2002, IRS asked for about $9.4 billion and about 101,000 full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff positions. The House Committee on Appropriations' July 23, 2001, report on Treasury's fiscal year 2002 budget request expressed concern about the information in IRS's CJ and asserted that other types of information and presentations would better help the committee evaluate IRS's budget. In that light, you asked us to identify ways to improve the usefulness of IRS's CJ information. As agreed with your office, our objectives were to (1) determine whether Treasury and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance allow flexibility in the structure and content of IRS's CJ and (2) identity a range of options to display IRS's appropriation request and additional data that can be included in the CJ, or in a supplement to it, that would help congressional decision makers consider IRS's request.

Download or read book Tax Administration IRS s Budget Request for Fiscal Year 1993 written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The administration's fiscal year 1993 budget request for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is for 115,798 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff years and about $7.24 billion. That is 414 FTEs less and $562 million more than authorized for last year. GAO's testimony makes several points: The budget includes two initiatives that would provide more staff for IRS to examine more returns and collect more delinquent taxes. Although GAO has supported such initiatives in the past, data in the budget and other IRS data raise questions about their long term effect. Despite additional staffing authorized for Collection and Examination in fiscal year 1991 and the additional staffing being requested in this budget, IRS' projections for fiscal year 1993 show minimal growth in Collection staffing and decline in Examination staffing compared to fiscal year 1990. This is because IRS has been unable to sustain the funding needed to maintain increased staffing levels. IRS' inability to sustain any growth in Collection and Examination staff comes at a time when the trends in accounts receivable are bad and audit coverage is projected to again fall below 1 percent. The fiscal year 1993 budget for another enforcement effort, the Information Returns Program, indicates a decline of 1,307 staff years since 1991. IRS projects that the number of under-reporter cases worked under this Program in 1992 will be about 38 percent less than the number worked in 1991. The fiscal year 1993 budget includes about $50 million in expected productivity savings from new or enhanced computer systems. Most of these savings, like those in the fiscal year 1992 budget, appear to have been based on unrealistic assumptions. As a result, programs are being cut to reflect "savings" that are not really there. P.2 (KAR).
