Noncompliance Is Needed To

Reduce Growing Tax Losses



The Federal Government is losing billions
of dollars in tax revenues annually because
individuals are not complying with the laws.

IRS has several programs for deterring
noncompliance but has relied mainly on the
process of examining tax returns as a stim-
ulus--a process that requires more than
one-half of IRS' enforcement staff. Other
programs might be more cost-effective, but
IRS is not sure that its staff is appropriately
allocated among these programs to obtain
the maximum voluntary compliance and to
substantially increase tax revenues.

GAO recommends that IRS undertake re-
search to better understand how its various
compliance activities might best be struc-
tured. GAO also recommends that, in the
interim, IRS make better use of its staff
within the various programs and imple-
ment an information system for improving
program management.
