As the Wall Street Journal mentioned here over the weekend, things at the IRS aren’t going so well according to the National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA), Nina Olson. In the most recent NTA’s report to Congress, Ms. Olson noted that Congress has taxed the IRS with duties that include “delivering social benefits and programs to the American public,” such as administering the variety of tax credits available for federally-approved status or behavior.

The most onerous of these duties have yet to take effect and Ms. Olson doesn’t like what she sees.

According to the summary, the NTA report “expresses concern that the IRS currently is neither structured nor funded to … effectively” deliver social programs. This is especially bad news considering that President Obama’s healthcare overhaul is “the most extensive social benefit program the IRS has been asked to implement in recent history.”

Apparently, enforcing the Obama Administration’s new healthcare tax will “involve nearly every division and function of the IRS,” according to Ms. Olson.

As one might have guessed, the NTA report indicates that the IRS will need more funding in order to carry out its new responsibilities.
