The IRS’s in-house watchdog on Monday released a report describing challenges facing taxpayers in light of the coronavirus’s effects on IRS operations. “The spread of COVID-19 brought much of the country to a grinding halt, and that was largely true of the IRS’s operations — and right in the middle of the filing season no less,” National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins wrote. “Despite the IRS’s best efforts, there have been notable adverse taxpayer impacts.”
