The IRS’s Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) division has recently issued significant new tax procedures for its examinations of tax-exempt organizations. The new process is expected to increase efficiency and accountability for both the IRS and the taxpayer. The Commissioner of TE/GE indicated that “(t)his process seeks to overcome issues that lead to prolonged cycle time and undue taxpayer burden.”
In addition to these new procedures which will be in effect on April 1, 2017, the Commissioner of TE/GE also issued best practices as an attachment to its internal memo on the new IDR process. Here is a link to the IRS‘s internal memo for the new required IDR process and suggested best practices.
