Abusive Tax Schemes

Our new report on Abusive Tax Schemes found that IRS is investigating over 40 types of abusive tax schemes. IRS publishes information about these tax schemes annually as a part of its Dirty Dozen list. Many of these schemes peak during filing season as people prepare their returns or hire someone to help with their taxes. However, we recommended that IRS amend the Dirty Dozen list to include ways taxpayer can refer information to IRS on preparers or other promoters involved in abusive tax schemes.
