Taxpayer Bill of Rights OK'd in bipartisan House vote

The House approved a new Taxpayer Bill of Rights 4250 to let taxpayers sue the IRS for up to 1 million dollars and add multiple protections in disputes with the agency. Supporters say it strengthens taxpayer leverage against the IRS, while opponents question Senate fate and potential veto risks. The bill would require the IRS to prove disputed figures and would waive penalties for innocent errors like misdirected payroll checks.

Proposed tax reforms widen IRS suit cap and oversight

The measure would let taxpayers sue the IRS or a $1 million limit for reckless collections, raise the lawsuit cap from $100,000, require notice to former spouses on joint tax actions, require 30 days notice before ending installment plans, speed IRS action on overdue taxes, notify taxpayers within 60 days of unmatched payments, and empower the ombudsman with the taxpayer advocate to force reissuing refunds and enforce deadlines.

Safety review ordered for military passenger planes

Defense Secretary William Perry ordered a service wide inventory of flight recorders midair and ground collision avoidance systems and other safety gear on military passenger aircraft after the Ron Brown crash. An Air Force official said initial findings do not indicate a structural failure though a final report is due by end May and will be briefed to families. Many military planes lack proximity alerting and wind shear detection, including Air Force One.
