2 Introduction

This annual report reflects an expanding tax sys-tem that has significantly enlarged the InternalRevenue Service's workload . The increase inthe number of returns filed and the amount ofgross revenue collected is evidence that ourself-assessment tax system remains vigorousand healthy. Some of the information in this re-port indicates areas in which the growth of thelax system has measurably challenged our ca-pabilities .

When I became Commissioner of Internal Reve-nue in March 1981 our compliance programswere being challenged by illegal tax protesters,abusive tax shelters and increasing amounts ofdelinquent taxes . There were backlogs inprojects in regulations, appeals and litigation,The IRS was working to implement changing taxlaws and administer an ever-growing tax sys-tem .

To deter illegal tax protesters we issued regula-tions to discourage the submission of fraudulentForms W-4 claiming excessive allowances orexemption, We also took prompt and firm actionagainst the promoters of illegal tax protestschemes .

Abusive tax shelter returns are still a complianceproblem and we are looking at ways to reducethe stress they may place on our appeals and III-galion functions . The Economic Recovery TaxAct of 1981 is helping us curb the growth of abu~sive shelters, To decrease the number of taxshelter cases that reach the courts we have re-vised our methods of dealing with these cases tnthe administrative appeals process . This newapproach should have a significant, favorable ef-fect on our case workload in this area .

We are trimming the regulations process to ex-pedite drafting and review and to set priorities sothat those regulations with greatest impact areconsidered earlier .

The rise in delinquent tax accounts over the pastfew years has caused us to adopt debt collec-tion techniques that have proven successful inthe private sector and we are moving ahead withautomated collection equipment to increase effi-ciency and reduce paperwork .

We have found that the solution to many of theadministrative problems facing the IRS today isgreater and more effective use of our computersand increased office automation . The day oflooking merely to a larger workforce to get thejob done is behind us . We intend to make themost of machine technology to help us accom-plish our mission . We are confident that we cando the things we do with fewer people than wehave had in the past.

I am committed to the President's program of in-creasing efficienqy and reducing the cost of gov-ernment. The IRS has a record of efficient, inno-vative management and we are looking, and willcontinue to look, at ways to build on that recordso the American public will continue to have re-sponsive, effective tax administration at the low-est possible cost .

This annual report, my first as Commissioner,combines the Commissioner's and Chief Coun-sel's annual reports into one publication . The1981 annual report also lists a new district,formed in response to the growing populationand economy of the Houston, Texas, area . How-ever, it was established so late in the fiscal yearthat individual statistics for it are not available forthis report .

Mathematical Correctio n

As a result of checking the mathematics on 91 .4million individual returns the IRS issued refundsor credits to 3 .2 million taxpayers who mademistakes that o~erslatecl their tax liabilities by$778 million, an average of $242 per return, On3 .9 million returns taxpayers understated theirtax liability by $1 .2 billion, an average of $315 .

Error rates for Forms 1040 and 1040A roseslightly in 1981, with 6.7 percent of the 1040Asprocessed having mathematical errors, com-pared to 6 .3 percent for 1980 . The error rate forForms 1040 was 8 percent in 1981, 7 .5 percentin 1980 . The five most frequent taxpayer errorsinvolved the earned income credit, use of tax ta-bles, calculation of the balance due or refund,Form W-2 withholding and itemizing deductions .

In checking estimated tax payments claimed onindividual income tax returns the IRS found thattaxpayers had underclamed $446 million andoverclaimed $950 million .

1980. The gain was larger than the previous rec-

ord $60 .6 billion increase in 1979 .

tax returns reporting $16.9 billion of windfallprofit tax .Estate and gift taxes increased by $412 m(I-

lion-6 .3 percent-to $6 .9 billion .

Tax Credits

Earned income credits (EIC) of $2 billion wereclaimed by 6 .9 million low-income taxpayerswho maintain a home for themselves and at leastone dependent . Employees have the option ofreceiving the EIC in their paychecks rather thanwaiting for a refund after filing an individual in-come tax return at the end of the tax year. Em-ployers reported on 28,122 employment tax re-turns that $19 .2 million had been paid out in ad-vance EICs during 198 f .This year taxpayers claimed $553 million incredits on 4 .6 million returns for energy conser-vation and renewable energy-source expendi-tures made on their residences.The business energy investment tax credit, forinvestments in solar- and wind-energy properlyplaced in service between Sept . 30, 1978, andDec . 31, 1979, initially was refundable . Creditsin excess of taxpayers' tax liability resulted in re-funds. For Property placed in service after Dec.31, 1979, the credit is limited to the amount ofthe tax liability . This year taxpayers were al-lowed $1 .9 million to satisfy tax liabilities and re-funded $277A 16 in excess of tax liabilities.Employers claimed $189 million on 124,000 re-turns for the targeted-jobs tax credit in 1981 .This credit is designed to encourage employ-meml of specific groups .

Presidential Election Campaign Fund

This year 27 million individual income tax returnshad designations for the Presidential ElectionCampaign Fund-28 .7 percent of the returnsprocessed . Designations amounted to $41 mil-lion, compared to $38 .8 million designated in1980 on 25 .3 million individual tax returns, or27 .4 percent of those processed . The cumula-tive amount credited to the fund since its incep-tion in 1972 is $287.2 million.

Combined Annual Wage Reporting

Combined annual wage reporting reduces thereporting burden for employers while still satisfy-ing the needs of the IRS and the Social SecurityAdministration (SSA) . During 1980 the IRS be-gan a program to ensure that the amounts re-ported on employment tax returns filed with theIRS and Forms W-2 filed with SSA agreed . Thisreconciliation was undertaken to assure that thecorrect tax had been reported and that the em-ployees received the correct social security cov-erage with SSA. From the start of the program inJanuary 1980 through Sept. 30, 1981, $327 .6million in additional tax have been assessed .

10 Assisting the 7axpayer

Write, Call or Walk In

This year the IRS received about 36 million tele-phone, 8 .7 million walk-in and 106,000 writteninquiries from taxpayers requesting informationabout their rights and obligations and availabletax benefits . In 1980 the IRS responded to 35million telephone, 8 million walk-in and 102,000written inquiries .

Almost 60 percent of this year's 44 .8 million in-quiries, 26 .7 million requests for assistance, oc-curred between January 1 and April 25-21 mil-lion phone calls, 5 million walk-in inquiries and36,000 items of correspondence . A qualitycheck of 205,000 telephone responses and oth-er help given by IRS assisters during this sameperiod found an overall accuracy rate of over 97percent.

Toll-Free Telephone Assistanc e

Nearly all of the telephone calls received duringthe 1981 tax return filing period were madethrough the toll-free telephone system that al-lows taxpayers throughout the United States tocall the IRS for information without paying long-distance charges .Over 86 percent of these telephone calls are an-swered by front-line assisters . Calls requiringcomputer or technical assistance are referred toIRS employees who have specialized training .This year the IRS answered 3 .4 million taxpayeraccount and problem resolution referrals and2 .7 million technical referrals .Special equipment allows hearing-impaired tax-payers throughout the nation, Puerto Rico andthe Virgin Islands to receive toll-free tax assis-tance, and in 1981, 2,3 10 taxpayers receivedsuch assistance .

Walk-in Service

Walk-in taxpayer assistance was offered atinner-city, business-district, suburban and rurallocations in 680 permanent offices and 146 tem-porary offices during the filing period . In addi-lion, over 37,000 banks and Postal Service loca-tions helped distribute more than 248 million taxforms and instructions .The IRS provided foreign language assistance at201 of its 826 taxpayer service offices . Spanishlanguage assistance was offered at 151 of theseoffices by 587 employees while 105 offices and44 1 employees helped taxpayers in other lan-guages .

Disaster Assistance

In 1981 the IRS provided help in preparingamended returns and casualty loss claims and

in getting refunds to taxpayers faster in 10 statesand 35 counties affected by floods, hurricanes,tornadoes and other major disasters .

Educating TaxpayersUnderstanding Taxes and similar programsreached more than 5 .5 million high-school andcollege students last year . IRS-sponsored work-shops for 4 1,000 small-business owners helpedmake taxpayers aware of their tax rights and re-sponsibilities . In addition, over 550 instituteswere held for tax practitioners .Through the volunteer income tax assistanceprogram (VITA) the IRS recruits, trains and sup-ports volunteers who prepare tax returns for low-income, non-English speaking and military tax-payers. This year 293,000 federal income tax re-turns were prepared by 37,000 volunteers . In1980, as a result of the tax counseling for theelderly program, the IRS entered into agree-ments with nonprofit organizations to providefree tax help to individuals age 60 and over us-ing volunteers who were reimbursed for oul-of-pocket expenses . During 198 1, 10,000 volun-teers prepared 79,000 federal income tax re-turns through this program .

Informing TaxpayersTelevision networks and local television broad-casters provided free air time worth an estimat-ed $5 .5 million for this year's IRS public serviceannouncements ,National publications received 9,200 specializedissuances from the IRS to use in advising read-ers of their responsibilities and benefits. The ma-terial was designed for specific groups and cov-ered items of particular interest on such subjectsas child-care credits for working parents, infor-mation for homeowners, tax consequences ofselling precious metals and lax responsibilitiesof small business owners .The IRS issued 7,300 news releases and re-sponded to nearly 2 1,000 media inquiriesthrough the National Office and 75 field loca-tions.

Clarifying NoticesTo improve the clarity of the computer-generatednotices and letters sent to taxpayers, the IRS re-viewed over 900 notices and letters and recom-mended changes to almost 300 of them .Changes were made to three of the highest vol-ume notices . These were tested and used during1981 and reaction of taxpayers and practitionerswas favorable. Other revised notices will bephased in starting in January 1982 .

Making Information Available

During calendar year 1980 the IRS processed12,651 requests under the Freedom of Informa-tion Act for IRS documents-an increase of 37percent over 1979 . Of this total, 7,350 weregranted in full, 1,628 were granted in part and3,673 were either incomplete requests or re-quests denied in full . The National Office readingroom serviced approximately 29,000 addilionalrequests for documents available to the public,including returns of exempt organizations, pen-sion plans and private letter rulings-a 6 .5-per-cam decrease from the prior year ,Under the Privacy Act of 1974 individuals made334 requests for access to records about them-selves . The IRS permitted full access in 96 ofthese requests and granted partial access in 28 .The remaining 21 0 were either incomplete orwere denied in full .

Approximately 1,970 disclosures of tax informa-tion were made to the Department of Justice,187,000 to federal, state and local child-supportenforcement agencies and 68,5 million to statetax agencies under specific disclosure provi-sions in the tax law.

The IRS has agreements with 93 state tax agen-cies for reciprocal exchange of confidential in .formation . This federal-state exchange programincreases tax revenues, reduces duplicate ex-aminations and increases taxpayer compliancefor both state tax agencies and the IRS . Thisyear the IRS approved implementation agree-ments with 63 state tax agencies to identify moreprecisely the information to be exchanged andlimit disclosures to information that is neededand used .

Helping Other CountriesIn 1981 the IRS continued to provide long-termtax administration advisory assistance to Egypt,Liberia and Sierra Leone and started new

projects in Saudi Arabia and Trinidad and Toba-go Short-term projects were conducted for Ec-ua~or . Guatemala, Jamaica, Jordan and SaudiArabia . Most of the projects were funded by theAgency for International Development .

This year 532 officials from 79 countries visitedthe IRS for orientation and observation pro-grams . Since 1963 over 6,350 visitors from 142countries have participated in these programs .The IRS also presented a seven-week seminarin tax administration for tax officials from sixcountries.

High-level IRS officials addressed various as-semblies and conferences of the Inter-AmericanCenter of Tax Administrators and the CaribbeanOrganization of Tax Administrators .

Problem Resolutio nThis year 318,179 individual taxpayer problemswere resolved by the problem resolution pro-gram (PRP), which was established nationwidein 1977 to bring special attention to persistenttaxpayer problems and complaints not prompllyor properly resolved through normal procedures,

- PRP also identifies underlying causes of taxpay-er difficulties so that organizational, proceduralor systemic problems can be identified and cor-rected ,

Each of the IRS's 59 districts, 10 service centersand seven regional offices and the office of inter-national operations has a problem resolution of-ficer . The taxpayer ombudsman, who is on theCommissioner's immediate staff, administersPRP nationwide, represents taxpayers' interestsand concerns within the IRS decision-makingprocess, reviews IRS policies and proceduresfor possible adverse effects on taxpayers, pro-poses ideas on tax administration to benefit tax-payers and represents taxpayers' views in thedesign of tax forms and instructions .

Forms and Publications

Public hearings held in Philadelphia, St . Louis,Daflas and Los Angeles resulted in many sug-gestions on how to simplify the federal tax formsand instructions ,The IRS distributed many taxpayer informationpublications free of charge, including 3 .1 millioncopies of Your Federal income Tax, 1 .2 millioncopies of the Tax Guide for Small Business,763,000 copies of the Farmer's Tax Guide and69,200 copies of the Tax Guide for CommercialFishermen . Additional tax materials were fur-nished to 7 .9 million taxpayers, 240,000 laxpractitioners and 438,000 employers . The IRSpublishes more than 90 bookiets-three inSpanish-on specific tax topics .

Examinations

During 1981 the IRS used a new syslem-totalpositive income (TPI) and total gross receipts(TGR)-lo group individual returns for examina-tion selection, TPI, which is used for nonbu-siness returns, is the sum of all positive incomevalues appearing on a return, with losses treatedas zero . Under the previous adjusted gross in-come system (AGI), losses reduced incomeitems with the result that high-income returnswith tax Shelter losses were grouped with low-income returns for examination purposes .TGR is the sum of business gross receipts and isused to class business returns, which are furtherclassed according to Schedule C (Business orProfession) or Schedule F (Farm) . Under thenew system returns of taxpayers who are pre-dominantly wage earners but have a smallamount of business income are classed as non-business .Examinaticri results for 1981 are grouped intoclasses by TPI and TGR . Previously returns weregrouped according to AGI . Therefore examina-tion data from previous annual reports cannot becompared to this year's on a class-by-class ba-sis .

Examination and Correction Results

The IRS examined 1,930,292 returns in 198 1, ofwhich 1,7138,774 were examined in district of-fices or at the taxpayers' residences or places ofbusiness by tax auditors or revenue agents-adecrease of 215,450 returns from 1980.

Statistical tables 7 and 8 show examination ac-tivity for 198 1 and 1980 .

Windfall Profit Ta xIn 1981 the IRS trained more than 700 enforce-ment and technical personnel in both basic oiland gas issues and in windfall profit tax adminis-tration. In addition, 370 employees were trainedto respond to taxpayer inquiries and questionsrelating to the tax, Windfall profit lax liabilities re-ported on excise tax returns processed throughSept. 30, 198 1, amounted to some $16.9 billion .

Large Corporation s

At the end of 1981 there were 942 large corpo-ration cases in the national coordinated exami-nation program (CEP) and 536 cases in the re-gional CEP with a combined average number ofopen years for each case of 2 .73, compared toa 3 .0 objective . Recommended tax deficienciesand penalties totaled $4 .33 billion during 1981,compared to $4 .35 billion for 1980 .The industry specialization program included 13designated industries in 1981 encompassing458 of the national CEP cases with 83 issues be-ing coordinated .

There were 136 criminal investigations in pro-cess of tax shelter promoters and operators forfraudulent transactions at the end of September1981 . During the year 39 indictments and infor-mations were returned, eight of which resulted inconviction on criminal charges . Federal grandjuries have been established primarily to consid-er tax shelter-related crimes .

The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 pro-vides penalty provisions for excessive values as-signed to properties that create inflated deduc-tions . The Act also provides a disallowance forlosses in excess of gains for commodity strad-dies, and interest and carrying charges for com-modity straddles are to be a capital expenditure,rather than a current deduction, and must beadded to the cost basis .

W-4 Program

The W-4 program was refined this year . 11 wasestablished in 1980 to check abuses by employ-ees who file incorrect withholding allowance cer-lificates with employers to avoid having incometax withheld from wages.The IRS expanded the monitoring of employercompliance with the regulations by requiring dis-trict collection and examination divisions to con-duct compliance checks during contacts withbusiness taxpayers . In addition, a computer sys-tern is being developed to identify employerswith large payrolls who have not submittedForms W-4 to the IRS . A program also is beingestablished to follow up automatically on certainW-4 filers who failed to file 1980 income tax re-turns .In March 1981 regulations were issued to pre-vent abuses by some employees who were filingsuccessively false Forms W-4 after being noti-fied by the IRS that the previous form was notacceptable . The regulations provide that the IRSwill advise the employer that the employee maynot claim total exemption from withholding orclaim withholding allowances in excess of anumber specified by the IRS .A legislative proposal to increase the civil penal-ty for filing false Forms W-4 was included in theEconomic Recovery Tax Act of 198 1 . The Act in-creased from $50 to $500 the civil penalty for fil-ing false information with respect to wage with-holding . It also increased from $500 to $1 .000the criminal penalty for willfully failing to supplyinformation or for willfully supplying falsified in-formation in connection with wage withholding .

i

Unreported Income Program

IRS unreported income programs have resultedin the identification of More than 24,000 returns .Examination results reflect a noncompliance rateof 83 percent . The newest and most significantprograms in this area are district information-gathering projects on unreported income, ofwhich there are more than 235 projects nation-wide . There also are 16 regional projects andone national project .Additionally, the IRS is working to develop thecapability to identify potential unreported incomeon filed returns through its discriminant function(DIF) scoring system and will begin testing sev-eral DIF unreported income formulas in 1982 .

Fraud Progra m

During 1980, and continuing in 1981, the IRS re-vised program emphasis, procedures and train-ing to increase the number and quality of fraudreferral

s. This resulted in a 12-percent increase

in the number of examination division referralsfor each 1,000 returns examined for the 12-month period ending June 30, 198 1 .The number of recommendations for assertion ofthe civil fraud penalty, which is equal to 50 per-cent of the underpayment of tax, increased by21 percent .for the year ending June 30, 1981 .

International Enforcemen tExaminations of business operations outside theU .S .-the majority involving multinational corpo-rations-are handled by approximately 235 in-ternational examiners located in 13 key districts,In 1981 international examiners specially trainedin the complex international provisions of the In-lemal Revenue Code, tax treaties and foreigntax statutes participated in the examination of2,900 returns, and their recommended adjust-ments and penalties reached a record high of$2 .8 billion, up 56 percent from 1980.With the cooperation of the aluminum industrythe IRS in 1981 developed guidelines and priceindexing systems that will relieve the burden ofrepeated examinations of complex issues involv-ing the allocation of taxable income from multi-national operations . This innovative approach 10income allocation problems should promote vol-untary compliance and the prompt payment oftaxes properly due the U .S . The IRS now is con-sidering developing similar guidelines for otherindustries .

Joint Efforts with Treaty PartnersThe IRS established its fifth simultaneous exami-nation program in 1981 with the Kingdom ofNorway . Programs exist with Canada, the UnitedKingdom, France and Germany .

In September 1981 IRS representatives met withtax administrators of European and Pacific Basinincome lax treaty partners to discuss internation-al technical and tax administration matters andimprove cooperation .

International Operation sThe office of international operations (010) hasforeign posts located in 16 key cities around theworld, These foreign posts are headed by reve-nue service representatives (RSRs), who man-age the examination, collection and taxpayerservice programs at the posts . In addition, theyconduct specialized investigations in support ofU .S . domestic examination and criminal cases .RSRs also serve as liaisons with foreign tax au-thorities in both treaty and nonlreaty countries ,

Compliance OverseasIn 1981 010 examined over 18,500 returns andrecommended additional tax and penalty as-sessments of nearly $950 million .

Assisting Taxpayers Abroad

Approximately 113,000 taxpayers in 133 cities in76-countres sought tax assistance and 1,563taxpayers attended 68 tax seminars conductedby the IRS . Seven military tax workshops attract-ed 583 participants, who, in turn, helped armedservices personnel prepare their own tax re-turns,

Appeals

The number of cases received in Appeals con-tinued to increase-from 53,467 in 1980 to58,505 in 1981 . To minimize taxpayer inconven-ience conferences were held at 36 Appeals of .fices, 60 subotfices and over 500 other ioca-tions ,Nondocketed workload increased two percentand there was a 38-percent increase in docket-ed cases. Small cases, those involving pro.posed deficiencies of less than $2,500 . contin-ued to be a large part of Appeals work, account-ing for over 52 percent of receipts in 1981 . Dis-posals also increased from 49,971 cases in1980 to 53,260 in 1981 . In nondocketed cases83 percent were closed by agreement, approxi-mately the same as last year . In docketed cases57 percent were agreed in Appeals, which is

Page 11: 1981 Annual Commissioner of Report Internal Revenue · 1981 Annual Commissioner of Report Internal Revenue and the Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service 1

tour percent lower than for 1980, due to an in-crease in the number of tax shelter and illegaltax protester cases moving through the system .The combined agreement rate for Appeals anddistrict counsel, including those cases dismissedby the Tax Court, was 89 percent ,

Ending inventory in Appeals increased from36,047 cases in 1980 to 39,254 at the end of1981, 40 percent of which were small cases .The proposed tax liability increased from $8 .7billion to $11 .6 billion . Cases with proposed defi-ciences exceeding $1 million represented 87percent of dollars in inventory even though theycomprised only three percent of total cases .

A taxpayer whose request for abatement of cer-tain penalty assessments is denied by a servicecenter or district office may request an appealsconference . During 1981 Appeals disposed of7,554 penalty appeals, compared to 8,338 pen-alty appeals cases considered in 1980 . Penal-ties of $23 million were protested, and of thisamount, $14 million were abated by Appeals .

Appeals, in cooperation with the Office of ChiefCounsel, is putting its inventory on computers toestablish better control, particularly over relatedcases in widely separated offices . Computeriza-tion also will produce reports that permit timelyevaluation of Appeals operations and reduceclerical staffing .

Criminal Investigatio n

A roleIof 5,838 investigations were initiated in

the general and special enforcement programsof the criminal investigation division (CID) in1981 . The general enforcement program identi-ties income lax evasion cases with prosecutionpotential . This program also provides for bal-anced criminal tax enforcement and geographi-cal and occupational coverage of various . typesof alleged violations of the tax laws . During theyear priority enforcement efforts included investi-gating individuals who filed multiple claims fortax refunds, illegal tax protesters and promotersof fraudulent tax shelters.

The special enforcement program identifies andinvestigates those individuals who derive sub-stantial income from illegal activities and violatethe tax laws. This program also includes the fed-eral strike force program against organizedcrime, the high-level drug leaders project, wag-ering tax enforcement and other efforts againstracketeers .

In Florida a cash-flow project is concentrating oncriminal investigations of money launderers andcorrupt bank officials who violate currency lawsby using financial institutions to deposit pro-ceeds from narcotics trafficking .

Prosecutions were recommended in 1,978 in-vestigations out of the 5,481 completed . Grandjuries indicted or U .S . attorneys filed informa-lions on 1,785 taxpayers . Prosecution was suc-cessfully completed in 1,494 cases .

Taxpayers entered guilty pleas in 1, 152 cases,60 pleaded nolo contendere and 282 were con-victed after trial, Acquittals and dismissals to-taled 81 and 142, respectively . Of the 1,615 tax-payers sentenced during the year, 802, or 49 .7percent, received jail sentences .

Of these totals, the special enforcement programaccounted for 1,478 completed investigations,696 prosecution recommendations and 323convictions or pleas of guilty to tax charges .

Cooperation With Other AgenciesThe IRS parlicipates in the federal strike forceprogram against organized crime, Investigationsin the 15 strike forces, located in 25 cities, arecoordinated by attorneys from the Department ofJustice . CID also participates in financial investi-gative task forces established by U.S . attorneysto coordinate the various federal law enforce-ment agencies' efforts against major narcoticsorganizations . Additionally, IRS special agentsare detailed to the Drug Enforcement Adminis-tration (DEA) to identify narcotics traffickers sub-jecl to the internal revenue laws .The IRS also provided training in financial inves-tigative techniques to investigators for the DEA,the U .S . Air Force Office of Special Investiga-tions, the U .S . Naval Intelligence Service andother federal, state and local law enforcementagencies .

Narcotics Traffickers

Since 1980 the IRS has more than doubled thenumber of staff years involved in investigationsof high-level drug traffickers, financiers andmoney launderers in its special enforcementprogram . As of Sept . 30, 1981, the inventory ofhigh-level drug trafficker cases included 399grand jury investigations, most of which are be-ing conducted jointly with other federal agen .cies . There are 838 high-level drug traffickersunder investigation and another 131 undergoingIRS and Department of Justice review before in-dictment. In 198 1, 110 indictments or informa~lions were returned on high-level drug traffick-ers . There were 50 convictions and 39 receivedjail sentences, with 74 percent averaging fouryears .

Illegal Tax Protesters

Illegal forms of tax protest have been a growingconcern to the IRS with illegal tax protesters us-ing a variety of schemes to evade payment oftaxes . Beginning in early 1979 the IRS estab-lished a comprehensive program to identify illegal tax protester schemes and to take appropri-ate action through examination, criminal investi-gation and collection programs to assure com-pliance with the tax laws .As of June 30, 1981, 13,600 illegal tax protesterreturns were under examination, During 198 1 .429 criminal investigations were begun on illegaltax protesters, 168 indictments or informationswere returned, 120 were convicted and 141were sentenced, with 60 percent receiving jailsentences .

Collection

During 1981 the IRS disposed of 2 .2 million de,linquent accounts and collected $5 .9 billion i noverdue taxes . Of that sum, $2 .2 billion werecollected in response to computer notices sentto taxpayers and $3 .4 billion were collected ondelinquent accounts. Overdue taxes of $285 mil-lion were collected when 1 .5 million delinquentreturns, involving $1 .8 billion in additional as-sessments, were secured .

The collection division concentrated its researchand analysis efforts this year on methods of im-proving efficiency. In 1980 a group of IRS andTreasury officials conducted a study and recom-

. mended legislative and procedural changes forreducing the number of accounts receivable andincreasing processing efficiency . Many of therecommendations were reviewed and adoptedin 198 1, such as improving the readability offorms and adopting certain successful debt col-lection techniques used by the private sector .

1 7

This also was the first full year that the collectionquality review system operated nationwide . Be-sides identifying areas where the quality of workneeds to be improved . the system eliminatescertain review responsibilities of first-line manag-ers allowing them to concentrate on more directinvolvement with daily operations.

Service Center Collectio nThe service center collection branches handlecomputer delinquency notices, the first step incommunication with taxpayers who have notfiled or paid their taxes. Many district office pro-cedures were reviewed to determine which ac-tions might be performed more efficiently by theservice centers . As a result the service centercollection branches absorbed several steps inthe initial processing of delinquent accounts andreturns. Procedures such as associating taxpay-er correspondence, screening cases to see thata final notice has been sent and verifying tax-payers' employment are now performed by theservice centers allowing district offices to redi-rect resources to higher priority work .

District CollectionIf taxpayers do not resolve delinquent accountsor delinquent return investigations in response tonotices from the service centers, these casesare transferred to district offices. In 198 1 district

18

collection functions served 740,103 nolices oflevy and 502,894 notices of federal lax lien andconducted 8,848 seizures .

Most delinquent accounts and delinquency in-vestigaticris transferred to the districts are firstworked by clerical and paraprofessional employ-ees in the collection office function, which in1981 closed over 57 percent of delinquent ac-counts and .over 67 percent of delinquent returninvestigations .

More difficult delinquent accounts and return in-vestigations that cannot be resolved in the col-lection office function are referred to the collec-tion field function . In 1981 revenue officers in thefield function closed 335,000 delinquent returninvestigations and 967,000 delinquent accounts .

During 1981 Collection emphasized improvingexisting telephone systems to deal more effi-ciently and responsively with delinquent taxpay-ers . Several projects also were undertaken toreduce the paperwork burden on taxpayers andon district colleclion operations .

The special procedures function advises districtcollection personnel on technical and legal is-sues and files claims in bankruptcy, probate andother types of insolvency cases . Recentchanges in the bankruptcy laws and the coincid-ing increase in the number of bankruptcy peti-tions filed have had impact on the special proce-dures function . In 1979, the last year under theold bankruptcy laws, there were some 240,000petitions filed . In 1980, under the new law, thisfigure climbed to over 42 1,000, and in 1981there were over 500,000 petilions filed .

Accounts Receivable

The collection division began work this year onan automated telephone system that uses thelatest computer technology to manage accounts .Paper documents will largely be eliminated andreplaced by computerized information availablethrough computer terminals . The system also willfeature atitomaticdialing and should result inhigher productivity, quicker resolution of ac-counts and increased revenue .

Delinquent Returns

Improvements were made to delinquent returnsprograms in 1981 with greater emphasis nowplaced on matching information documents andtax returns . Methods of identifying and contact-ing taxpayers who have failed to file income taxreturns were improved, and nonfilers are nowdetected earlier . Notices also were revised toemphasize the need to file returns on time. Useof information from the states to resolve delin-quencies also was improved .

- 1

Procedures to cope with windfall profit tax wereimplemented this year . Additionally, returnscompliance programs concentrated on identi-fying delinquencies in unemployment andhighway-use taxes and on the compliance prob-lems of workers in the construction industry andself-employed taxpayers .

Information Returns Progra mThe IRS received 645 million information docu-ments in its tax year 1980 information returnsprogram including over 184 million Forms W-2received and processed by the Social SecurityAdministration and 64 million pre-1974 Series Esavings bonds from the Bureau of Public Debt .More than 397 million information returns re-ceived from businesses and organizations re-porting interest, dividends and other paymentsalso were involved .Over 336 million of the information documentswere submitted on magnetic media . The IRS willcontinue to match most information returns sub-mitted on magnetic media to verify that correctamounts are reported on taxpayers' returns . Ofthe information returns submitted this year onpaper approximately 26 percent will bematched, and 84 percent of the combined mag-nefic media and paper receipts will be matched .In 1981 the IRS notified over 1 .2 million taxpay-ers of potential discrepancies between incomereported on their tax returns and income report-ad on information returns. Also, 1 .6 million tax-payers were sent notices of apparent failure tofile tax returns based on information returns .

This year the IRS began associating informationreturns with cases of taxpayers who filed incometax returns in previous years but failed to do sofor the current,year .

Employee Plans

During 1981 the IRS continued a taxpayer com-pliance measurement program JCMP) for em-ployee benefit plan returns to ensure compliancewith the Employee Retirement Income SecurityAct of 1974 (ERISA) . Data gathered during theTCMP examinations will be used for planning fu-ture examination programs, improving the selec-tion of returns for examination and identifyingneeded changes to the Forms 5500 series ofemployee plan returns and instructions . Underthe program approximately 18,000 Forms 5500and 5500C returns with plan years beginning in1978 were examined .A detailed plan termination standards worksheetwas developed this year to ensure the protectionof the rights and benefits of plan participants interminating plans . It will provide employee plansspecialists with comprehensive guidelines to

1 9

identify terminating plan problems, A trainingcourse also was developed for employee plansspecialists that covers the review of terminatingplans .

A revenue procedure issued this year estab-lishes optional application procedures for planadministrators to obtain determination letters onamendments to employee plans that alreadyhave received favorable determination letters .The revenue procedure provides for the use of ashort form to apply for determination for amend-ments of plans thus facilitating the processing ofthe determination request by the IRS and requir-ing less time for completion by the applicant .

Revised Forms 5500C and 5500K and newshort Form 550OR were mailed to filers in Janu-ary of this year to begin triennial filing for planyears beginning in 1980 . Forms 5500C and5500K now are required to be filed only onceevery three years with the Form 550OR filed inthe intervening years .

Through the coordinated compliance agreementwith the Department of Labor (DOL) the IRS vir-tually eliminated duplication of examinations be-tween the two agencies during 198 1 . For thefirst time cases involving fiduciary actions that vi-olate the exclusive benefit rule were referred toDOL when the IRS concluded that a plan shouldbe disqualified .

The review of employee benefit plans was be-gun in 1981 under a program established tobring plans into full compliance with ERISA. Theprogram protects the benefits of plan partici-pants by providing varying degrees of relief fromsanctions for plans that agree to comply withERISA and, where necessary, retroactively pro-vide benefits to which plan participants wouldhave been otherwise entitled it ERISA had beencomplied with in a timely manner.

A post-review program, which was started in1980, has helped to ensure that all IRS employ-ee plan key district offices uniformly apply thelaw and IRS procedures when issuing determi-nation letters on qualification of plans . Under thisprogram determination letters issued by key dis-tricts on the qualification of plans and the tax-exempt status of related trusts are subject to se-lection for post-review by the National Office .During the first year of operation, which endedJune 30, 1981, 2097 cases were reviewed .

In 1981, 5 regulalions and 51 revenue rulingsand procedures were issued as well as 2,855National Office opinion letters on master andprototype plans dealing with Keogh plans, cor-porale plans and individual retirement accountsand annuities . The IRS also has completed a re-view of pre-ERISA revenue rulings for modifica-tion, restatement, obsolescence or revocation .

Page 13: 1981 Annual Commissioner of Report Internal Revenue · 1981 Annual Commissioner of Report Internal Revenue and the Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service 1

The rulings resulting from that review are beingmade public ,

Advance determination letters are issued by theIRS on the qualification of pension . profit-sharingand other employee benefit plans, During theyear 132,370 determination letters were issuedon corporate and self-employed plans . Also,20,207 plans were examined to determine thequalification of plans in operation, to verify theemployers' allowable deduction for contributionsto plans and to assure that the rights and bene-fits of plan participants are protected .

Exempt Organization sTwenty-seven states, the District of Columbiaand the IRS agreed in 1981 to use a revisedForm 990, Return of Organization Exempt fromIncome Tax, to enable exempt organizations tofile the same form with both federal and stategovernments . The new form substantially re-duces recordkeeping and financial reportingobligations for those organizations while provid-ing greater accountability, more uniform informa-tion on charitable organizations and full disclo-sure of financial funding agreements ,The charitable trusts and solicitations subcom-mittee of the National Association of AttorneysGeneral and the National Association of StateCharity Officials have endorsed the use of the re-vised Form 990 to meet IRS and state reportingrequirements, A Form 990 advisory committee,comprising IRS and state officials and represen-latives of those organizations that use or pre-pare the form, is being established to review fu-ture revisions.The IRS continued exchanging enforcement in-formation, as allowed by law, with state attor-neys general on charitable trusts and other ex-empt organizations . Several state representa-tives also participated in IRS exempt organiza-tions training sessions .In 1980 the District Court (or the District of Co-lumbia in the case of Green v. Regan supple-mented and modified a 1971 in . unction prohibit-ing the IRS from recognizing rajelly discrimina-tory schools as tax exempt, Under the court or-der the IRS is prohibited from recognizing orcontinuing the tax-exempt status of privateschools in the State of Mississippi that havebeen adjudicated discriminatory or have beenformed or expanded at the lime of public schooldesegregation and cannot demonstrate that theyare not racially discriminatory .Enforcement of the injunction continued during198 1 . Each private school located in Mississippiand exempt from income tax was contacted todetermine whether its admissions policies were

racially discriminatory under the standards setforth by the court, Action has been completed onall private schools that are not church-related .By its order of May 14, 198 1, the court grantedintervention to the C)arksdale Baptist Church inGreen v . Regan . On July 13, 198 1, the courtsuspended application of its 1980 order tochurch-related private schools pending resolu-tion of the issues raised by the intervenor . TheIRS therefore has suspended action on thechurch-related schools until the outcome of thislitigation .

Congress prohibited the use of any funds during1980 to carry out a proposed revenue proce-dure published on Aug . 22, 1978 . or to adoptnew procedures that would cause the loss of taxexempt status to a private school . A joint resolu-tion extended the restriction to 198 1 .

Section 501 (c)(9) regulations were adopted forthe first lime in 1981 . Section 501(c)(9) of the In-temal Revenue Code exempts from tax voluntaryemployee associations that provide their mem-bers with life, sick or accident insurance andsimilar benefits .

Two revenue rulings on environmental issueswere published . The first holds that an organiza-tion whose principal activity consists of institut .ing litigation as a party plaintiff to enforce envi-ronmental legislation, if otherwise qualified, isoperated exclusively for charitable purposes andis exempt from federal income tax under section501(c)(3) . The second ruling holds that organi-zations that mediate international environmentaldisputes also are exempt .

In another ruling the IRS held that publication ofa newsletter containing congressional incum-bents' voting records on selected issues doesnot constitute participation or intervention in anypolitical campaign within the meaning of section501(c)(3) .

During 1981 the IRS exempt organizations activ-ity issued or revised 52 revenue rulings and pro-cedures, 291 technica

Iadvice memoranda, ex-

organization returns andparticipated in the issuance or revision of 10regulations . In addition, the IRS acted on 53,938applications, reapplicalions and requests for rul-ings from organizations .

Research and Operations AnalysisDuring 1981 the first editions of the IRS strategicplan and the research plan were developed, Theunreported income research group co minued itsupdating of the 1979 IRS report "Estimates of In-come Unreported on Individual Income Tax Re-turns ." Special emphasis is being placed on im-proving estimates of unreported income using aconsumer expenditure survey approach and de-veloping comprehensive estimates of unreportedincome for individuals engaged in illegal activi-ties .

Major Research Project s

The IRS established a permanent researchgroup this year to improve the information re-turns program . Several key studies in this areawere completed in 1981 on reporting of incomeon information documents for tax years 1975and 1976, reporting of gambling winnings, ex-tending information reporting to bearer instru-ments and the feasibility of an information re-turns program for interest and dividends paid tocorporations . Throughout 1981 the IRS contin-ued studies to measure complian~e in reportingnonemployee compensation on the new Form1099-NEC .The IRS contracted with an outside firm in 1979to simplify the individual income tax forms. Pro-totype forms were developed and have beentested on volunteers using hypothetical tax situa-tions, Some of these new forms will be tested inactual use as official tax return forms for tax year1981 . A comprehensive review of the format ofinformation returns also was begun to studyforms consolidation, simplification and other im-provements that could reduce the filing burdenof payers, provide correct, easy-to-understandinformation to payees and facilitate IRS matching

-of information reports against tax returns .Research has continued on compliance withsome of the approximately 90 Interrial RevenueCode sections that allow taxpayers to defer cer-tain tax consequences to future years. Thesestudies include deferred gains on installmentsales, recapture of certain deductions on hous-ing projects insured by the Department of Hous-ing and Urban Development and tracking ofbusiness losses in activities that may not be en-gaged in for profit .The state income tax refund study, completedduring 1981, uncovered a compliance problemthat can be monitored by computers . In addition,computerized tracking systems have been setup to monitor the once-in-a-lifetime exclusion ofgain from the sale of a principal residence andthe maximum dollar limitations on residential en-ergy credits .

Taxpayer Compliance Measurement

This year the IRS started taxpayer compliancemeasurement program JCMP) examinations ona sample of corporation income tax returns filedin 1981 . A survey of potential nonfilers of individ-ual income tax returns also was started . TCMPresults are used to plan enforcement programs,allocate IRS resources, improve tax forms andinstructions and develop mathematical scoringformulas used by computers to select returns forexamination . TCMP examinations continued thisyear on randomly selected employee planForms 5500 and 5500C, 1979 individual incometax returns and exempt organization Form 990series . A TCIVIP program for partnership returnsfiled in 1982 is planned .

Workload Scoring Systems ,

Because it is essential that the mathematicalscoring, or discriminaml function (DIF), tech-niques remain at the "state of the art," two out-side firms were engaged to research alternativemathematical / statistical methods of computerscoring and selecting cases to be examined .These contracts were completed .in July 1981 .

Revised DIF formulas based on data from aTCMP survey of corpora

Ie returns were devel-

oped this year for selecting these returns for au-dit, DIF-type formulas also were developed toenhance the efficiency and effectiveness of col-lection operations by identifying accounts receiv-able and nonfiler cases to be worked ,

A study of the joint IRS/Social Security Adminis-tration combined annual wage reportingprogram, which reconciles Forms W-2 and vari-ous employment tax forms, resulted in develop-ment of a formuia for selecting cases to beworked ,

Productivity Managemen t

The IRS continued to explore ways to increaseoutput and reduce costs while maintaining or en-hancing the quality of the work product. One ma-jor productivity improvement project undertakenin 1981 was a study of large-volume clerical pro-cessing and support operations in IRS district of-fices . This study brought IRS case processingexperts together with industrial engineers froman outside consultant firm to analyze the docu-ment and data processing operations that occurbefore and after returns are audited or delin-quent accounts collected . The study should re-sull in recommendations for improved process-ing techniques that can be tested in 1982 .Through the IRS's productivity enhancementfund, financing was made available for I I pro-ductivity improvement projects including put-

chase of computer software needed to begin acomputer-monitored incentive pay plan at thePhiladelphia Service Center and the implementa-tion of a microfiche system for Appeals recordsin the National Office .

Statistics

Statistics of income (SOI) publications issued in1981 included individual income tax returns for1978, sole proprietorship and partnership re-turns for 1977 and corporation income tax re-turns for 1976 . A preliminary report for corpora-tions for 1977 also was published . Preliminarydata for individuals for 1979 and sole ~ropnetor-ships and partnerships for 1978 were includedin the July 1981 issue of the SOI Bulletin, the firstin a new series of quarterly reports . The SOI Bul-letin contains selected data formerly containedin the preliminary SOI reports, which have beendiscontinued . It also will be used for presentingkey data in advance of, or instead of, the moredetailed SOI reports .This year the IRS published its first supplementalreport presenting data by country for the foreignearned income and foreign tax credits of U.S . in-dividuals . Another supplemental report providedinformation by industry and country on foreignsubsidiaries of U .S . corporations .SOI publications can be obtained from the Su-perintendent of Documents, U.S . GovernmentPrinting Office, Washington, DC 20402 .Preliminary statistics for unincorporated busi-nesses for 1979, along with complete 1977 andpreliminary 1978 corporate data, were providedto the Treasury Office of Tax Analysis (OTA) andthe congressional Joint Committee on Taxationfor use in revenue estimating and analyzing ex-isling and proposed tax legislation, The dataalso were provided to the Department of Com~merce's Bureau of Economic Analysis for use inupdating the national income and product ac-counts.The IRS furnished statistics to OTA for congres-sionally mandated annual reports covering do-mestic international sales corporations, interna-tional boycott participation and taxation of do-mestic corporations on their operations in PuertoRico and U .S . possessions . Data also were pro-vided on the taxation of Americans workingabroad and on income of nonresident aliens andthe U .S . taxes withheld on that income .Other data provided to OTA for special reports toCongress included statistics on the 1980 crudeoil windfall profit tax, 1979 corporate jobs creditand 1977 and 1979 sales of capital assets by in-dividuals . Work also was completed on a five-year survey of individual taxpayers for use in

OTA's analysis of capital gain or loss transactionpatterns and on the initial results of collating es-tate tax returns for 1976 with income tax returnsof decedents and beneficiaries .

Legislative Analysi s

This year the IRS developed 22 implementationplans detailing responsibilities of various func-tions in administering new tax legislation includ-ing the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 198 1 .

Technical Activities IDuring the year the IRS acted on 32,030 re-quests for letter rulings and technical advice in-cluding 21,423 requests for changes in account-ing methods and periods .Letter rulings are written statements issued totaxpayers interpreting and applying tax law tospecific sets of facts . Such rulings provide guid-ance concerning the tax effect of proposedtransactions . Letter rulings are not precedentsand may not be relied upon by taxpayers otherthan the recipient of the ruling .Technical advice is issued by the National Officeat the request of district offices to provide guid-ance on the proper application of the tax laws tospecific facts in connection with audits of tax-payers' returns or claims for refund or credit.The IRS also issued 395 revenue rulings andrevenue procedures . Revenue rulings are inter-pretations of the tax laws published in the week-ly Internal Revenue Bulletin to inform and guidetaxpayers, practitioners and IRS personnel .

The curriculum for 1981 consisted of eight shortcourses in tax law along traditional law schoollines with students being tested and graded .

Internal Audi t

Additional revenue of $526,6 million accrued tothe IRS in 1981 through action on internal auditreports directly related to collection, enforce-ment of the tax laws and processing of returns .Since the beginning of the coordinated audit ap-proach, which provides evaluation of IRS pro-grams on a national or regional basis, these au-dits have yielded $1 .98 billion . Many correctiveactions result in annual recurring savings, whichhave totaled $1 .5 billion since 1977. IRS man-agement also is taking long-term actions to im-plemem internal audit recommendations that willrealize an additional $498 .6 million in revenueand cost savings, all of which will have recurringbenefits .In 1981, 51 coordinated internal audits werecompleted resulting in more efficient operations,more effective programs and procedures andstronger internal controls. A specialized group ofinternal auditors also was established to reviewthe planning and management of the IRS coordi-nated examination program to assist manage-ment in ensuring quality examinations and theefficient use of resources .Abstracts of Internal Audit findings were disirib-uted monthly to IRS officials to alert them toareas that may need increased management at-

tenlion . Top management also received reportson the implementation and effectiveness of ac-tions taken in response to General AccountingOffice reviews of IRS activities .

Internal Security

The internal security division's investigations toprotect the integrity of the IRS resulted in the ar-rest or indictment of 125 taxpayers and tax prac-titioners and 44 current or former IRS employ-ees . There were convictions or guilty pleas in thecases of 131 individuals arrested or indicted in1981 or earlier . Of these convictions 26 werefor bribery and 31 for assault while t~e rest in-volved conspiracy to defraud the government,embezzlement, impersonation of a federal offi-cer, narcotics and other offenses.An 18-month investigation of illegal trafficking innarcotics at an IRS service center resulted in thearrest of 18 individuals in a three-state area .Seventeen of those arrested, includling four for-mer employees and eight building guards, wereconvicted and sentenced to prison terms rang-ing up to one year.A 31-month undercover investigation into orga-nized crime's attempts to compromise the integ-rity of IRS operations led to the indictment ofeight organized crime figures and their asso-ciates for bribery and related offenses . Playing"a corrupt employee," an IRS special agentmade numerous contacts with underworld char-acters in schemes to "fix" criminal cases andother proceedings . Almost $50,000 in bribe pay-ments were made by the suspects .Operating independently, two employees at thesame IRS office embezzled several thousanddollars by issuing fictitious receipts for the taxesthey collected . Both former employees are fac-ing prosecution for embezzlement .The division completed 4,721 background inves-tigations of employees during the year and con-ducted police record checks on all persons con-sidered for temporary appointments . These in-vestigations and record searches resulted in therejection of 127 job applicants and administra-tive actions against 439 employees . In addition,the division conducted 524 investigations involv-ing alleged employee misconduct with 136 re-sulting in exoneration of the employees involved .Assaults and threats against IRS employees de-creased from 508 in 1980 to 455 in 1981 .

Integrity Progra mTo deter waste, fraud and abuse Inspectioncompleted 44 audits of areas particularly sus-ceptible to integrity violations, such as activitieswhere cash is handled and where control weak-

nesses increase the potential for integritybreaches .

As a result of nationally coordinated projects,controls were strengthened over the examinationof employee tax returns, accounts reported cur-renfly not collectible and collection revenue rep-resentative activities. Audits of high-risk areasresulted in the strengthening of controls in col-iecting and depositing delinquent taxes, secur-ing delinquent returns, controlling seized proper-ty and determining and assessing tax deficien-cies .

Internal control seminars were conducted nation-wide to increase employee recognition of integri-ty matters, to develop a better understanding ofthe role and responsibilities of Inspection and toincrease management's awareness of its inter-nal control responsibilities .

In addition, 2 1,000 employees were advised ofpotenlial corruption hazards through awarenesspresentations, internal control seminars and con-ferences with all levels of management .

Inspection conducted 533 integrity. probes andtests of high-risk IRS activities .

Resources ManagementModernization was begun in 1981 of the IRSpayroll/personnel system, which will include di-rect terminal input and the latest data-base man-agement concepts .

Fiscal Managemen tDuring 1981 savings of about $669,000 were re-ported and verified through a management-gen-erated savings program that rewards managerswho cut costs . This procedure allows managersto reapply half of the savings resulting from theircost-cutting initiatives to programs under theircontrol that they determine 10 be most in need ofadditional resources . The balance is applied toServicewide problems or is given up in the nextyear's budget . This program is part of Service-wide productivity efforts that altogether yieldedsavings over 1980 of 1,040 staff years valued at$16.1 million-about 1 .2 percent of 1980 staff-Ing .

Personnel

Job elements and performance standards weredeveloped for all IRS positions as required bythe Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 . All IRSmanagers and employees also were trained inthe new performance appraisal proceduresbased on these elements and standards .

RecruitmentIn addition to normal recruitment and staffing ac-tivities the IRS has adopted several programs tomake employment opportunities available tomany people who previously faced limited jobopportunities or were excluded from the federalworkforce . Goals for the employment of individu-als on a part-time basis have been exceeded .Many of these part-time employees are individu-als who have responsibilities that prevent themfrom working a full 40-hour week .In addition, the IRS employs 2,600 severelyhandicapped employees and disabled veterans .As funding has permitted, special equipment hasbeen purchased to assist handicapped employ-ees in the performance of their duties .The cooperative education and junior fellowshipprograms in 1981 provided work-study opportu-nities to 848 students, most of whom were ma-joring in business-related fields. Eighty-sevenpercent of the cooperative education studentswho have completed their programs with the IRSover the past several years have become per-manent employees .

Labor Relation s

Negotiations with the National Treasury Employ-ees Union INTEL) were concluded and resultedin two master labor agreements, The first agree-ment covers those bargaining unit employees inthe service centers, the Data Center and the Na-tional Computer Center. The second agreementcovers those bargaining unit employees in theNational Office, regions and districts . In addition,separate negotiations with NTEU also resulted inagreements covering the implementation of theperformance appraisal system under the CivilService Reform Act of 1978 and the test of vari-ous flexitime plans in the IRS .

Awards and Recognitio n

Southeast Regional Commissioner Harold A.McGuffin was one of 25 federal executives to re-ceive the Senior Executive Service (SES) Distin-guished Rank Award from the President . South-west Regional Commissioner James 1 . Owens,Midwest Regional Commissioner Roger L . Plateand Brookhaven Service Center DirectorThomas J . Laycock received SES MeritoriousRank Awards from the director of the Office ofPersonnel Management .This year 23 Commissioner's Awards and nearly13,000 awards to employees for adopted sug-gestions, sustained superior performance andother special acts or services that saved about$2 .8 million were presented under the IRS in-centive awards program .Forty-nine Presidential Letters of Commendationwere received by IRS employees recognizingtheir contributions to more efficient governmentoperations . The Department of Treasury alsorecognized nine IRS employees for their accom-plishments .

Centralized ServicesThe IRS is developing automated systems forword processing and microfiching employeeplans and exempt organizations administrativecase files and is testing automated equipment toimprove the remittance deposit operation .During 1981 the IRS continued its efforts to im-prove its district office centralized services func-tion through effective use of resources, accurateand timely processing of remittances, improvedefficiency in computer-terminal processing oper-ations, adequate controls in teller-area opera-tions and continued efforts to eliminate tax defi-ciencies barred by the statute of limitations ,A major study of the methods and procedures ofcentralized services by Arthur Young and Com-pany began in May 1981 .

Facilities Management

in 1980 (he IRS began a major building programin support of the service center replacement sys-tem, which involves the replacement of almostall automatic data processing equipment in the10 service centers . The designs for the firstgroup of five service centers were completed in1980 and construction started in 1981 , The de-signs for the second group of five service cen-ters are underway with construction to be startedin 1982 . This project is expected to be com-pleted by May 1983 when the last of the newcomputer rooms at each of the 10 service cen-ters will be finished ,Efforts to conserve energy are continuing in theservice centers . All service centers are imple-menting the recommendations of the jointIRS/General Services Administration task forceon energy conservation, which conducted sur-veys in all service centers from May 1979 toMarch 1980 . For 1980 the total energy con-sumption for the service centers was 15 percentless than in 1975, which meant a cost savings of$1 .5 million for 1980 .During 1981 savings of $667,000 in telecommu-nications costs were achieved through cost-re-cluction efforts in the federal telecommunicationssystem and commercial long-distance callingvolumes and telephone switchboard replace-ment projects

Paperwork Managemen t

The IRS continued its efforts to eliminate unnec-essary internal management reporting canceling46 reports in 1981 for annual savings of approxi-mately $382,000 .

Disposing of some 225,000 cubic feet of rec-ords and retiring nearly 460,000 cubic feet tofederal record centers resulted in the release ofspace and equipment valued at $7 .2 million .

New computer programs were developed in1981 to presort large volume mailouts into ZIP-

code sequence so that lower cost ftiird-clgssbulk-mail rates can be used . The system will ac-commodate both individual and business tax-payer mailings and will be programmed to in-ciude new carrier route information. The 1981 in-dividual tax packages were the first mailing un-der the new sy~tem, which resulted in estimatedpostage savings of $2 .4 million .

Safety StatisticsThe IRS had 4 .4 disabling injuries per millionstaff hours worked in calendar year 1980, com-pared to a 4 .5 rate the year before . IRS employ-ees drove 121 million miles with an accident rateof 4 .5 accidents per million miles driven . In 1979employees also drove 121 m illion miles, but hada 5.2 accident rate .

Security

During 1981 the IRS issued new standards toassure protection and confidentiality for taxpayerinformation and reviewed safeguards used toprotect taxpayer data stored and processed inIRS computer systems . Changes were made tothe IRS tax data retrieval system to improve theautomated protection from employee abuse ormisuse . The IRS also began a risk analysis pro-gram to determine the least costly methods forprevention of loss, alteration or unauthorizeddisclosure of sensitive tax data .

Training

This year the IRS conducted over 500 trainingcourses providing some 138,000 instances ofjob-related opportunities for individual training .Revenue agents are now being trained in thesystem for controlling all tax shelter cases. Acourse on commodity shelters for agents andappeals officers enables them to recognize po-tential issues, gather the necessary verificationand apply the law . A revised course for specialagents uses job-oriented practical exercises, in-

terviewing and other skills that more quickly pre-pare them for duty.

A training program has been developed to helpemployees recognize and report possible viola-tions of federal nontax criminal laws . Employeesare trained to report promptly all indications ofpossible nontax crimes to their disclosure offi-cers so they can determine whether or not theinformation may be disclosed under current law .

The "Training in the Mid-80s" sludy-which willattempt to reduce travel and per them costs andimprove the quality of instruction by placing asignificant portion of training at the local officesthrough the use of self-instruction and comput-ers-will be tested in the Southeast Region inthe fall of 1982 .

The IRS began a management practices coursefor first-line managers that replaces the existingbasic management training . The new traininguses behavioral modeling techniques to assiststudents and will reduce classroom training bythree days resulting in annual travel and perthem savings of $140,000 and annual parlici-pant time savings of 280 staff weeks.

Equal Employment Opportunity

From July 1980 to July 1981 full-time regularemployment in the IRS decreased by nearly 4 .5percent. While there was some decrease in thenumbers of women and minorities employed, therepresentation of women increased from 52 .7 to53 .3 percent and minorities from 20 to 21 per-cent . At GS-13 and above representation ofwomen went from 6 .5 to 7 .9 percent and of mi-norities from 7 .0 to 7 .8 percent .

The employment of women and minorities in keyoccupations also showed improvement duringthis same period even though total employmentin these occupations declined . Revenue agentswent from 14 .9 to 16 .2 percent for women andfrom 11 .7 to 12 .2 percent for minorities ; criminalinvestigators from 6.7 to 7 .8 percent for womenand from 7 .5 to 8 .4 percent for minorities : andattorneys from 13 .9 to 16 .6 percent for womenand from 6 .1 to 7 .4 percent for minorities .

Data Service s

The equipment replacement program continueson schedule in its second year . This program isa three-phase, long-range plan to replace obso-lete computer equipment used in tax return pro-cessing .The service center replacement system (SCRS)contract was awarded on June 12, 1981 ~ Thiscontract will provide a single computer systemto replace the two systems in each of the 10 ser-vice centers and an additional system for pro-

27

gram development and testing. Conversion ofthe more than 1,000 programs began in March1980 using a high-level computer language . Thiseffort expanded significantly in 198 1 . Full imple-mentation of SCRS is scheduled for January1985 .

The microfilm replacement system will automatethe current research process and improve theprivacy protection of taxpayer data . This phasewill be implemented in all service centers by Au-gust 1983 . The master file replacement systemwill modernize equipment at the National Com-puter Center . This replacement will not requirean extensive program conversion and will be im-plemented by January 1983 .

Another step in equipment modernization wastaken this year when the IRS decided to acceler-ate the replacement of the service center directdata entry system and combine it with an auto-mated error correction system .

National Computer Cente r

The completion of the addition and renovationproject at the National Computer Center pro-vides 150,000 more square feet. The project in-cludes a system to capture the heat generatedby the computer systems and use it throughoutthe building . In addition, a 3,150-kilowalt turbinegenerator will be used to support electricalneeds for approximately 70,000 square feet in-cluding the 150,000-volume tape library .

As of July 1981 the number of taxpayer ac-counts on the individual master file had grown to119 .6 million-a two-perceni increase over July1980 . The business master file was purged andthe number of taxpayer accounts decreased twopercent from 1980 . It contains 22 .4 million ac-counts including 911,898 exempt organizationaccounts . The employee plan and individual re-firement account master files contain 1 .4 millionand 307,022 accounts respectively . For tax year1980, 328 million information documents wereprocessed by the information returns selectionsystem .

*This figure does not represent a true universe of section 501(c)(3) organizations because certain organizations, such:a churches, their integrated auxiliaries and conventions or associations of churches, need not apply for recognition . 1.e.ption unless they desire to receive a ruling . When issued the ruling letter goes to the central organization, but it

covers all of its subordinate units. Only the central organization is established on the exempt organizations master filewhe, it is counted as one entity in the figure as stated above, However, this one ruling may represent a large numberof

suborchnate units, as in the case of larger religious sects . An exception are subordinate units considered nonintegrat-ed auxilianes' which are established and included in the above figures since they may be required to file information re-turns as prescribed under IRC sec. 6033 .

J

I am pleased to present the annual report of theOffice of Chief Counsel for the Internal RevenueService for the fiscal year ended September 30,1981 . While I have only recently assumed myduties, I am impressed with the great dedicationand skill with which Chief Counsel people exe-cute their duties, Such skill and dedication havenever been more needed for there is much to bedone .

In the 1981 fiscal year, the workload of the Of-fice has increased 24 percent over the 1980 fis-cal year, and a 35 percent increase over 1980 isexpected in 1982. With the constraints on Gov-ernment spending, we may not be able to in-crease our attorney staffing significantly; there-fore, our only alternative is to make better use ofthe resources we have .

With the number of pending Tax Court casesskyrocketing during the 1981 fiscal year, from34,776 to 46,167 (a jump of 33 percent), wehave to develop procedures for more efficienthandling of cases . As examples, more extensiveuse and development of the following and simi .lar techniques can aid in increasing our efficiency :

0 Use of specialized techniq6es to processpro se cases more efficiently, such as use ofparalegals to perform nontrial functions and freeattorney time for other purposes :

o Use of senior litigators to handle cases de-serving special attention to create substantialprecedents and thereby aid in the disposition ofsimilar cases ; an d

* Use of the equity powers of the district courtunder section 7402(a) to enjoin promoters frommarketing misleading tax shelter schemes in or-der to reduce the number of taxpayers subject-ed to controversies with the Service through par-ticipation in meritless promotions .

We intend to continue a vigorous program of liti-gation to combat abusive tax shelters . Congresshas recently provided us with two significantpenalties to strike at the two pillars of abusiveshelters-delay and overvaluation . These penal-ties are the overvaluation penalty, which canrange up to 30 percent of taxes not paid as a re-sult of the overvaluation, and the time-sensitivenegligence penalty.

With a backlog of over 300 pending regulationsprojects and an anticipated 90 additional regula-tions projects opening as a result of the Eco-nomic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, we must alsorefine our production procedures to speed upthe flow of regulations but still maintain quality .The review process must be streamlined and un-necessary paperwork in the process must be re-duced .

Finally, I am committed to the continued excel-lent performance of our Office in the hiring ofqualified women and minorities and promotion ofall individuals based on merit ,

If we are to deal effectively with the multitude ofproblems confronting the IRS in its administra-tion and enforcement of the internal revenuelaws and provide the quality and quantity of legalservices needed, we must work hard to resolveproblems creatively. Although our workload isheavy and demands on our time substantial, wemust constantly. strive to provide efficient, effec-tive, and readily available legal assistance to ourclient, the internal Revenue Service, As a resultof having had the opportunity to work with manyof you already, I am confident we can imagina-tively meet the challenge. I look forward to work-ing with you in the coming year .

DisclosureLitigation

Both the National Office and the field offices areactively involved in litigation . Disclosure litigationactivities are centralized in the National Office .General litigation and tax litigation work are han-dled in the field offices subject to the overall di-rection of the National Office .

Providing legal advice to the IRS on issues aris-ing under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),the Privacy Act of 1974, and the disclosure sec-tions of the Internal Revenue Code accounts fora substantial portion of the work performed bythe Disclosure Litigation Division . As part of itsadvisory function, the division assists the Depart-ment of Justice in litigation arising under theseacts by establishing the factual record, prepar-ing legal defenses, and recommending settle-ment of suits or appeal of adverse decisions .A number of significant issues were argued ordecided during the 1981 fiscal year.

* The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Districtof Columbia ruled, in Taxation with Representa-tion Fund v. IRS, that General Counsel Memo-randa, Actions on Decision, and

.Technical Me-

moranda were not exempt from disclosure un-der subsection (b)(5) of FOIA .0 In Ferris v. IRS, the District Court of the Dis-trict of Columbia is considering whether the Na-tional Treasury Employees Union can gain ac-cess to the Performance Expectations of Senior

Executive Service Employees, which the IRS ar-gues are protected by FOIA subsections (b)(2)and (b)(6) which exclude from disclosure infor-mation relating to internal personnel practicesand which would result in an invasion of a per-son's privacy .

0 In Williamette Industries, Inc. v. U.S., theU .S. District Court in Oregon ordered disclosureof volumes of return information pertaining to theti

.mber industry, with the names of taxpayers and

the volume of timber sales deleted, a miscon-struction of the,statutory provisions protectingreturn information which could have an adverseimpact on the IRS .

0 In Long v. Bureau of Economic Analysis, theIRS obtained stays of orders entered by theNinth Circuit in a FOIA case seeking source datafrom the Taxpayer Compliance MeasurementProgram ; Congress, meanwhile, amended 26U.S .C . § 6103(b)(2) to prevent the release of thisdata because it forms the basis for the selectionstandards for the audit of tax returns .

In addition, the Disclosure Litigation Division pre-pared advisory opinions in response to requestsfrom the IRS and other governmental functionson the availability and uses which could bemade of tax information . For instance, the divi-sion provided advice to Congressional commit-tees as to the availability of tax information onnominees for Federal district court judges andPresidential appointees .

died requests made to National Office employ-ees for testimony and production of IRS recordsin connection with proceedings before courts,administrative agencies, and other authorities .

The General Litigation Division advises the IRSin matters relating to collection and assessmentprocedures and assists the Department of Jus-tice in suits to collect taxes, suits to recover erro-neous refunds, bankruptcy proceedings and oth-er insolvencies, civil enforcement of sum-monses, and injunctive and declaratory judg-ment actions .During the 1981 fiscal year the General LitigationDivision has handled several issues of specialimportance to the IRS .

* While a Federal district court has held thatUtah cannot escheat undelivered tax refund sowed residents of the state, similar cases in oth-er states are still pending, and if the issue wereresolved in favor of the states, unknown sums ofmoney for tax years all the way back to 1916

One of the steps the General Litigation bivisionhas taken to increase its efficiency in, and thequality of, case handling is a movement towardgreater specialization among attorneys in the re-gional offices .

Tax Litigation The Tax Litigation Division determines and coor-dinates the legal position of the IRS in order toassure consistency in all cases litigated in theUnited States Tax Court and all cases for refundof taxes and certain suits for declaratory judg-ment instituted by taxpayers in the United Statesdistrict courts and the Court of Claims . It the IRSloses a case, the division determines, and ad-vises the IRS with respect to Tax Court cases,whether to acquiesce or nonacquiesce in the de-cision and, with respect to other adversely de-cided cases, advises the Department of Justicewhether or not to appeal .

During the 1981 fiscal year, a number of signifi-cam cases were decided .

0 In Rowan Companies, Inc. v. United States,the Supreme Court ruled against the IRS, hold-ing that Congress intended the definition of"wages'' to be interpreted in the same mannerfor FICA and FUTA withholding as for income taxwithholding, and, therefore, when meals andlodging provided by the employer are excludedfrom income tax withholding, they are also ex-cluded from FICA and FUTA withholding.

0 In United States v. Darusmont, the SupremeCourt held that the application of an income taxstatute to the entire calendar year in which thestatute was enacted did not per se violate theDue Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment .

* The Supreme Court ruled for the IRS inHCSC-Laundiy v. United States, holding thathospital-shared service organizations cannotquality for exempt status under subsection501(c)(3), but must quality, if at all, under sub-section 501(e) which governs cooperative hospi-tal service organizations .

e The Supreme Court ruled for the Govern-ment in Commissioner v. Portland Cement Co. ofUtah, holding that for purposes of computing -gross income from mining by the proportionateprofits method which, in turn, governs a taxpay-er's depletion deduction, the first marketableproduct is finished cement, whether sold in bulkor bags, and that the costs of bags, bagging,storing, shipping, and selling should be includedin the proportionate profits computation as non-mining costs .

* The Supreme Court ruled against the Gov-ernment in United States v. Swank, holding thata provision in a coal mining lease permitting ter-mination by either party on 30-days notice didnot preclude the lessees from having an "eco-nomic interest" in the coal in place which wouldentitle them to a depletion allowance under sec-tions 611 and 613 .

& In Diedrich v. Commissioner, the Eighth Cir-cuit ruled for the IRS, holding in direct conflict to

75

previous net-gift holdings in the Fourth, Fifth,and Sixth Circuits, that a donor realized incomeon the gift of properly to his children, whoagreed to pay the donor's gift tax liability, to theextent of the excess of the donor's tax liabilityover his adjusted basis in the properly trans-ferred, an issue involving approximately 20pending cases and between 4 and 5 million dol-lars .

In the Corning year, the Tax Litigation Divisionexpects to be involved in a number of importantareas .

9 If theTax Court decides in the Smithlacob-son case, the first litigation involving commoditystraddles, to disallow certain losses arising frombutterfly straddles, this should create settlementpressure on other pending cases .

0 If the Fifth Circuit, after a rehearing, does notreverse Tufts, which held that the amount real-ized is the fair market value rather than theamount of the liability where a nonrecourse noteencumbering real property is in excess of thefair market value of the property when the prop-erty is disposed of, a petition for certiorari mayhave to be filed because the holding is in directconflict with the Third Circuit case of Miller v.Commissioner and inconsistent with recentlypromulgated Treasury Regulation § 1 . 1001-2(b) .

Refund Litigation Cases Received

Ing if the defendant has already lost the issue inanother suit.

a The division will participate in the appeal ofthe Klemp case where the Tax Court, followingthe Tenth Circuit, held that the IRS had onlythree years after amended returns were filed toissue notices of deficiency rather than six yearsafter the original returns which were fraudulentwere filed .

a The division expects to be involved in theadministrative problems arising from the adverseSupreme Court decision in Rowan, with morethan 26,000 protective claims suits pending inthe Service Centers .

* The division expects to be increasingly in-volved in abusive tax shelter litigation as in-creasing numbers of docketed cases come totrial.

Introduction

EmployeePlans an d

ExemptOrganizations

The three technical divisions of the Office ofChief Counsel are located in the National Office .These divisions are responsible for the Office'slegal interpretation of the present tax laws andfor policy determinations which may shape fu-ture tax laws .

The Employee Plans and Exempt OrganizationsDivision spent a substantial amount of its timeduring the 1981 fiscal year developing regula-tions on issues relating to employee plans andexempt organizations ,0 Final regulations on qualification require-ments for defined benefit "Keogh" plans cover-ing self-employed individuals and ''subchapterS" corporations applied the benefit limitations tovariable annuities and insured plans.

a Final regulations on pension plan fundingmethods acceptable under ERISA addressedsuch technical questions as the situations inwhich benefit changes can be anticipated forfunding purposes and limited certain variationsof the unit credit funding method ..0 Final regulations on anti-discrimination re-quirements for self-insured medical reimburse-ment plans dealt with the definition of a self-insured plan, the impact of health maintenanceorganizations on eligibility requirements, and thescope of the statutory exception for medicaldiagnostic procedures.

In addition, the Employee Plans and Exempt Or-ganizations Division assisted in the preparationand review of letter rulings to taxpayers, techni-cal advice to IRS personnel, revenue rulings andrevenue procedures, and certain tax forms, in-structions, and publications issued by the IRS onmatters relating to exempt plans and exempt or-ganizations . The division provided legal assis-tance in determining litigating positions and incoordinating these positions with the ruling posi-tions of the IRS on employee plans and exemptorganizations . The division also assisted Trea-sury in the development of internal revenue leg-islation on employee plans and exempt organi-zations.

The Employee Plans and Exempt OrganizationsDivision expects to work on a number of signifi-cant regulations during the coming year .a Proposed regulations on the new statutoryrequirement that employees of an affiliated ser-vice group be treated as employed by a singleemployer for purposes of the employee benefitplan qualification requirements may focus onsuch issues as the definition of "service organi-zation" and the effect of the new requirementson employers with existing plans.

0 Proposed regulations amending existingregulations limiting benefits that a retirementplan may provide to the 25 most highly compen-sated employees in the event of early termina-tion of the plan may adjust for inflation the bene-fit limitations which have not been changedsince the 1940's .

0 Proposed rules on deductions for certainforeign deferred compensation plans may ad-dress such issues as the extent to which futuresalaries may be projected in determining em-ployer contribution obligations and whether thenew statutory provisions were intended to applyto funded plans of subsidiaries which do not sat .isfy the normal conditions for deduction underprior law.

Interpretative During the 1981 fiscal year, a substantial portionof the work of the Interpretative Division involvedthe providing of legal advice to the IRS in regardto substantive and procedural tax law, other thancases involving employee plans, exempt organi-zations, and certain general litigation and taxreturn-preparer matters. A large number of reve-nue rulings, revenue procedures, private letterrulings, and technical advice projects were con-sidered during the year, especially in connectionwith the Service's efforts to deal with tax abusedevices and questionable tax shelter schemes .

e One project was Rev. Rul . 80-274, involvingthe proper tax treatment of deferred variable an-nuity contracts and so-called wrap-around annu-ities, which held that interest earned on accountsin a federal savings and loan association whichthe insurer acquired with single premium pay-ments was included in the gross income of thedepositors in the association who purchased re-tirement annuity contracts from the life insurancecompany.

e Another project was Rev . Rul . 81-160, re-vising Rev . Rul . 56-1.36, which held that loancommitment fees incurred under a bond saleagreement, which made funds for constructionavailable in stated amounts over a specified pe-riod, had to be capitalized and amortized overthe term of the loan .

the employer are not wages for FICA ind FUTApurpo~es, the division not only contributed to thedevelopment of the IRS position but dealt withmany of the technical and administrative ramifi-cations of the final decision .

e The division considered whether the IRSshould follow the decision of the Third Circuit inConnelly v. United States, where the court heldthat the decedent's right under an employer-funded noncontributory group life insurance poli-cy to select optional settlement modes in con-junction with the employer and insurer was notan incident of ownership within the meaning ofsection 2042 of the Code, and announced inRev . Rul . 81-128 that the Service will not followthe Connelly decision except in cases arising inthe Third Circuit .

The Interpretative Division also participated inthe drafting of proposed legislative amendmentsaffecting the continuity of interest requirementsin corporate reorganizations, assisted in theIRS's program to deal with tax protestors, andprovided legal assistance on numerous returns-processing and tax-compliance problems involv-ing, among other issues, the Federal excise taxon insurance policies issued by foreign insurersand enforcement of the record-keeping require-ments of the Internal Revenue Code . The divi-sion continues to provide legal assistance to theIRS and other divisions in Chief Counsel in es-tablishing litigating positions and ensuring thatCounsel's litigating posture is consistent with theruling position of the IRS .

Legislation The development of regulations comprises theand bulk of the work performed by the Legislation

and Regulations Division . During the 1981 fiscalRegulations year, final and proposed regulations were pub-

lished which addressed a number of complex is-sues facing the IRS .

0 Regulations on burned-out shelters clarifiedthe tax consequences of disposing of tax shelterproperty while debt on the property is still out-standing .

0 Regulations required employers to submit tothe IRS withholding exemption certificates whichclaim either complete exemption from withhold-ing or ten or more withholding allowances and tofollow IRS instructions with respect to withhold-ing on the employees filing these certificates.* Regulations defined "grassroots lobbying"as communications which express a view on alegislative matter, regardless of whether a spe-cific legislative proposal is identified . and whichare distributed in a manner designed to reachand influence the general public .0 Regulations identified factors which distin-guish debt interests from equity interests in acorporation, such as the existence of a "definite-ly ascertainable" interest rate on amounts de-posited with the corporation and the dispropor-tonality of debt and equity holdings in the corpo-ration .

* Regulations accommodated withholding andother administrative rules under the Crude OilWindfall Profit Tax Act better to industry prac-tices and explained such complex rules in theact as the "net income limitation .' '0 Regulations established more realistic I m'puted interest rates when the rate stated by par-ties falls outside a specified range .0 Regulations interpreted the newly enactedinstallment sales scheme and resolved manyquestions not addressed in former regulationson installment sales .

0 Regulations relating to the foreign tax credittackled the problem of distinguishing taxes,which should be creditable, from other pay-ments, such as royalties, which are merely de-ductible .

Other major regulations projects during the pastyear focused on the energy investment credit,mortgage subsidy bonds, and generation-skipping taxes .

In addition to developing regulations, the Legis-lation and Regulations Division regularly reviewsproposed revenue rulings and drafts of formsand publications to assess whether they areconsistent with legislation and final, proposed,and pending regulations . In reviewing forms andpublications it is often necessary to make apractical accommodation between the taxpay-er's need for a clear and brief statement and theIRS's concern that the statement be technicallyprecise .

Other activities of the division during the year in-cluded participation in the development anddrafting of proposals which eventually becamethe Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 andparticipation in negotiating and drafting tax trea .ties with foreign governments .

Developing regulations Linder the Economic Re-covery Tax Act of 1981 will dominate the work ofthe Legislation and Regulations Division in thecoming year. Some of the portions of the actwhich will require detailed attention are the pro-visions which set forth the accelerated cost-recovery system, the tax consequences for off-setting positions and regulated futures contracts,and the credit for research and experimentationexpenditures. The division will also continue towork on major on-going projects, such as theproposal for consolidated administrative and ju-dicial proceedings for partnerships .
