This week on the Tax Policy Podcast we’re lucky to have Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate, as our guest. As head of the federal Taxpayer Advocate Service, she keeps an eye on what the Internal Revenue Service is up to and looks out for the interests of taxpayers year in and year out. In her most recent report to Congress, Ms. Olson highlights a number of problems affecting U.S. taxpayers, including insufficient funding for customer service at the IRS, the lack of a federal Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and identity theft. Listen to the episode here.
