Bipartisan Warren, Cassidy Bill to Simplify Tax Error Notices Signed Into Law

Washington, D.C. —TheInternal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help (IRS MATH) Act, bipartisan legislation championed by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) in the Senate, was signed into law by the President.
“It’s common sense that the IRS should tell Americans where they made mistakes on their taxes,”said Senator Warren. “I fought hard to fix the law and simplify the tax filing process. Now, Americans will have more money in their pockets, without needing to spend a fortune on lawyers or hours to decipher confusing tax notices."
The IRS MATH Act ensures that when taxpayers make simple math or clerical errors on their taxes, the IRS sends them clear notices indicating where they made an error and laying out a 60-day appeal window.
Specifically, the bill:
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill by voice vote in March. Representatives Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) and Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa) led the bill on the House side.
