CEO Corner
|

Dear Hannah,
This past May, at the conclusion of the AICPA's Spring Meeting of Council, several hundred CPAs from across the nation met with members of Congress to ask for their support of consolidating existing IRS units into a Practitioner Services Division so that taxpayer issues could be more efficiently resolved. Our staff and Council members met with members of the Massachusetts delegation as a part of that effort. These efforts proved effective – IRS Commissioner Rettig announced earlier this month that he is considering the creation of a Practitioner Services Division, saying he understands the need for such a unit.
As the IRS begins to move into a new era of modernizing its practices, policies and systems, we believe that tax professionals should have the tools to aid taxpayers in successfully adhering to the updated tax code. While the announcement from the IRS is promising, we must continue our efforts until this important division is established, and the MSCPA will continue to advocate for tax preparers and IRS efficiency. Please take a look at my recent opinion piece in
Accounting Today
stressing why a Practitioner Services Division is so important.
We will keep you updated as we continue to advocate on your behalf both in Boston and Washington, DC. Click here to learn how you can get involved in our advocacy efforts!
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
