REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Illegal Tax Protesters

Threaten Tax System





The number of illegal tax protesters--persons
who, according to I RS, advocate and/or use
schemes to evade paying taxes--has increased
significantly in recent years. Since they rep-
resent a threat to our Nation's voluntary tax
system, I RS has taken some important counter
measures, including the establishment of a
high-priority Illegal Tax Protester Program
and a program to prevent the filing of false
Form W-4s, Employee's Withholding Allow-
ance Certificates.

I RS has made some progress in detecting pro-
testers and in deterring them through civil
and criminal enforcement actions. However,
it can further increase its effectiveness by in-
vestigating protesters in a more timely manner
and by making additional organizational and
administrative changes. Also, the Congress
can help by amending the summons provi-
sions of the 1976 Ta Reform Act_
