President Trump Signs Feenstra Legislation Holding IRS Accountable to Iowa Taxpayers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed into law his legislation to hold the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accountable to Iowa taxpayers.

“I’m thrilled that President Trump signed my bill to hold the IRS accountable to Iowa taxpayers. For too long, the IRS has caused headaches and confusion when a taxpayer makes a fixable mistake on their taxes, providing no explanation as to why a refund is different than expected, or how to correct an error,” said Rep. Feenstra. “This law will require the IRS to clearly communicate tax-filing errors to Iowans and help them not only understand the mistake but also challenge it if they see fit. I will continue to work with President Trump to make government more efficient and ensure that the IRS is accountable to Iowa families, farmers, seniors, and small businesses.”

The Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help (IRS MATH) Act requires the IRS to clearly communicate tax-filing errors to taxpayers, identify the item that is being changed, and explain why a tax refund is higher or lower than expected.
