1 SEC. 642. NATIONAL COMMISSION ON RESTRUCTURING THE

2 INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.

3 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:

4 (1) While the budget for the Internal Revenue

5 Service (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘IRS’’) has risen

6 from $2.5 billion in fiscal year 1979 to $7.5 billion

7 in fiscal year 1996, tax returns processing has not be8 come significantly faster, tax collection rates have not

9 significantly increased, and the accuracy and timeli10 ness of taxpayer assistance has not significantly im11 proved.

12 (2) To date, the Tax Systems Modernization

13 (TSM) program has cost the taxpayers $2.5 billion,

14 with an estimated cost of $8 billion. Despite this in15 vestment, modernization efforts were recently de16 scribed by the GAO as ‘‘chaotic’’ and ‘‘ad hoc’’.

17 (3) While the IRS maintains that TSM will in18 crease efficiency and thus revenues, Congress has had

19 to appropriate additional funds in recent years for

20 compliance initiatives in order to increase tax reve21 nues.

22 (4) Because TSM has not been implemented, the

23 IRS continues to rely on paper returns, processing a

24 total of 14 billion pieces of paper every tax season.

25 This results in an extremely inefficient system.
61

HR 2020 EAS

1 (5) This lack of efficiency reduces the level of cus2 tomer service and impedes the ability of the IRS to

3 collect revenue.

4 (6) The present status of the IRS shows the need

5 for the establishment of a Commission which will ex6 amine the organization of IRS and recommend ac7 tions to expedite the implementation of TSM and im8 prove service to taxpayers.

9 (b) COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION.—

10 (1) ESTABLISHMENT.—To carry out the purposes

11 of this section, there is established a National Com12 mission on Restructuring the Internal Revenue Serv13 ice (in this section referred to as the ‘‘Commission’’).
