An Act Providing for the Bill of Rights and Obligations of Taxpayers, Creating the Office of the National Taxpayer Advocate, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes
The bill would give every taxpayer a clear set of rights—like getting simple information, free help if they can’t afford a lawyer, and protection from unfair tax actions—while also setting out basic duties such as paying taxes on time. It creates a new independent office, the National Taxpayer Advocate, to assist people, especially low‑income filers, and to monitor tax agencies. Penalties up to six years in jail and heavy fines would apply to officials who violate these rights.
