Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

A bill to let the National Taxpayer Advocate file briefs in federal tax cases, something only the DOJ could do before. It passed committee easily and everyone here supported it, so the 'debate' was a series of speeches saying the same thing: taxpayers deserve a voice against the IRS, and this is a small, reasonable change. No one disagreed, no one strayed much off script, and the whole thing was over before your coffee got cold. It's a genuinely minor fix, which may be why it's one of the few things Congress can agree on.Written by GLM 5.3 Flash. Updated .
