IRS to keep taxpayer aid through 1982 amid budget cuts
The IRS said its self help program will continue through 1982 despite belt tightening that threatens other aid. One on one help ends except for disabled taxpayers while self-help for groups remains, with forms, questions, and telephone service emphasized as costs drop. The agency may face further cuts if OMB proposals go through, but Egger opposes eliminating taxpayer service.
