The group says because of the backlog of 2021 returns and the problems still growing out of the COVID pandemic the IRS should temporarily suspend all automated compliance action as it did at the start of the pandemic.

The IRS is halting automated notices in cases where a payment has been credited to a taxpayer, but no return has been processed.

However, the group said in. a statement this week  the majority of erroneous stem from “numerous other circumstances where taxpayers are crying out for help, especially the underserved and minority communities.”

“Simply put, more is needed to offer meaningful relief to individuals and small businesses, and we urge the IRS to implement all of our recommendations,” the statement said.
