Tax Complexity and Fraud Prevention Review Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Treasury to send a report each year to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee on how the IRS identifies, prevents, and resolves tax fraud, including stolen identity refund fraud. The report would describe information and recommendations shared between the IRS and Security Summit members and other tax filing providers, along with data on the amount of fraud by tax form. It would also report the dollar amount of fraudulent refund claims that were paid out and those that were stopped before payment. Redacted data from the report would be posted on the IRS website, and a separate Taxpayer Advocate report would no longer count as the required annual analysis of tax law complexity.
