A bipartisan, bicameral bill to restructure the Internal Revenue Service was introduced on Thursday that aims to improve customer service, increase transparency and create an independent appeals process.

The Taxpayer First Act of 2019 would create an independent appeals process; ensure taxpayers have the access to the same information as the IRS during a dispute; require the IRS to provide taxpayers notice of an audit before contacting friends, neighbors and clients; and provide for easier electronic submission of tax return forms.
