handle is hein.gao/gaobabcpx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE, COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES What IRS Can Do To Collect More Delinquent Taxes The number and amount of delinquent tax ac- counts are increasing faster than I RS can deal with them. In 1979 delinquent taxes owed the Government exeeded $13 billion. Although IRS collected almost $5 billion in delinquen- cies that year, delinquencies grew by $2 bil- lion, totaling more than $15 billion by the end of fiscal year 1980. Passive collection policies, inadequate use of taxpayer financial information, inefficient col- lection program operations, lack of manage- merit information, and limited resources all contribute to this increase in tax delinquencies. IRS has made several changes to correct many of the problems GAO identified. The changes IRS has instituted will help ensure that IRS employs the most effective and efficient ac- tions to collect the greatest amount of delin- quent tax revenue in the shortest time peri- od--and help reduce the Government's need to borrow to finance its operations.
