How IRS Attorney Departures Will Prolong Cases, Spur Settlements

Big job cuts and reductions in resources at the IRS are liable to prolong disputes over tax bills and force the agency to leave money on the table when cases are finally resolved. More than 170 attorneys have withdrawn from representing the IRS in cases in US Tax Court since Donald Trump became president in January, according to a Bloomberg Tax analysis. Many have quit the IRS altogether amid a major exodus of employees. Some Justice Department attorneys who represented the IRS in tax disputes in federal appeals courts have also left, moves that could impact some of the biggest, most prominent tax-related cases in the courts. The diminished resources suggest it’ll take longer to resolve cases, former attorneys and former IRS and DOJ officials say. The IRS may also be pushed into considering settlements in some cases where perhaps it wouldn’t otherwise. That would mean settling cases on less favorable terms for the agency, and potentially give taxpayers a leg up in dealing with the IRS. In this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax senior reporter Michael Rapoport discusses the attorney departures and their implications, as well as attorneys’ frustrations about their jobs and fears about the future that prompted some to leave the IRS.
