you came to hear us talk about the irs budget. that is what the irs is focused on now. i will take a moment to explain what it is we are doing. infrastructure for telephone and tax assistance. so that they can fix things the first time around. there are service deliveries through all channels. and taxpayers and representatives would be more in the drivers seat for issue resolution. three out of five taxpayers use paid preparers. they can arrange payments online and pay online. this would allow us to deploy people to work with taxpayers who want or need personal contact. many do and many will. those people need to be trained to better and they need to be given information technology to do the job. the point i want to emphasize this afternoon it is it will also reduce the cost of an tour smit -- the cost of enforcement. and the cost borne by the taxpayers themselves. pretty much everything is new about that image. we are taking a comprehensive view and figuring out what investment is needed and in what order, they have translated that to budget initiative. so we can go fo

so, you want the employees in the irs to be trained. and you want the irs to be accessible by you. you want to be able to get through to that power and say, don't do this to me. you got it wrong, irs, and i've got the information to tell you. i'm entitled to that dependsy exception or earned income tax credit. i switched the digits on my return. listen to me. fix them. let me get that $3,000. you want due process in that tax system. the ability to come in what we promise, the right to challenge the irs and be heard. so, let's look at how the irs is doing as the taxpayers attempt to reach. i have been practicing for four decades. i thought about whether to say four years or four decades. two score i have been practicing and involved in the tax system and i have never ever seen anything like this filing season on the phones. this is just the roll up, the customer account services are really all of our taxpayer help lines and so a year ago, we were able to answer seven out of every ten calls and this is the filing season, so it starts from january 1st and today, we can't even answer f

you will see it's not from the irs. the people again reaching out to try and get information from you that will allow them to still -- allow them to steal your identity. there are unscrupulous tax preparers, we said if anyone says just sign a blank form and i will take care of it, you should go find another tax it's an ongoing issue, this year our filters things to our -- thanks to our expenditures of some of the constrained resources on approved data theft are catching more refunds at the door. more people are getting letters from us questioning their 1040 filing who didn't file yet. i told them the good news is that means we stopped the refund at the door, not paid the refund, and haven't contended -- have not contaminated your account without false information. we will continue, it's a major issue for us. we get millions of attacks on the system every year. thus far, knock on wood, we have been able to defend against those. it's one of my concerns about funding constraints, that we could become even more secure with

and the irs gets back to them. we know we have a long way to go. we know this requires investment to move anything like an interactive irs it's going to involve quite a bit of investment, a change in the skill mix. we're developing comprehensive plans how we will deploy that investment, thousand we will -- how we will get there. we have translated that into budget initiatives so we can be accountable the or that. we're taking first steps now because we must demonstrate that an investment in the irs is not going to just reduce lines from four hours to two hours, it would bring the irs up to an organization unlike any other financial organization or, indeed, you can order a sandwich online. there's a lot of things you can't coat the irs because of our information technology. it will also allow new ways of working with our partners such as software companies. so i will turn the podium over to the others on the panel. i'm very interested to hear what they have to say, and then we'll be looking forward to taking your qu

assistance center or calling the irs.way can also help us on the compliance side of the equation.thx.>[móú l1 o wwleed to be faster and smarter with a more modern system, the irs could identify problems. in tax returns, when a return is filed, rather than coming back to taxpayers years after the fact. while the meter is running on potential interest and penalties. we want to interact with taxpayers as soon as possible on these issues so that they can be corrected without costly follow-up, contact or labor intensive audits. the up-front issue identification effort could also help in other areas as well such as the ongoing battle over the use of stolen identities to file fraudulent tax returns. we must provide greater security in the future. we need to find more ways to protect taxpayers' private information. at tax time we need to be sure we are interacting with the right person. improving identity authentication is a major goal going forward. we've already taken a number of steps in the identity theft area and the most re

my mother works with the irs. my mother worked with the irs. a service center in philadelphia in 1966. they were doing a major overhaul of the i.t. system and 10 years later, they were done. then they had a state-of-the-art computer system. for ever since then, that has been the case -- they are always behind in this. when i was at treasury, there was a tax expert with a proven ability to get this kind of stuff done. it seems like they need to do something fundamentally different and maybe you were getting at that. how can they solve this technology problem? >> are you asking me? >> i guess i'm asking all of you. dave certainly. nina: he's not trying to be the leader, but we would like to get into the 21st century and we would certainly like to get out of cobol. i have been privy to some a -- so many conversations over the years that i do feel like the irs is making progress in this area. i think part of the problem is getting people to understand you are going to have to invest some dollars and you will not see the immediate return on it. in o

and i'm delighted to welcome irs commissioner john koskinen, who is here to discuss how the irs deals with an increasing workload in a time of budget cuts. it's actually a nicely timed event. i like to put one-week reminders ahead of deadlines. so you've all got your one-week reminder of a deadline next week. we're delighted to have you here again today. some of you may know i have a textbook co-authored with my friend harvey rosen. so i pulled it off my shelf. much half of the textbook is devoted to taxes. and we have a quote in there. this kind of bonus question. in anybody can name the case. 1899 supreme court decision. and in it there's a nice little quote that we pulled. it says "the power to tax is the one great power upon which the whole national fabric is based. it is as necessary to the existence and prosperity of a nation as is the air he breathes to a natural man. it is not only the power to destroy but also the power to keep alive." i thought it was a very appropriate quotation to kick off today's event. clearly the irs continues to be an essential part of our system of go

irs and preserve our liberty. deficit i think we got to abolish the irs. to try to put this in corporate terms and i know it's not an exact analogy but it is as if people want to run for chairman of the board would like to eliminate the enterprise. how does an organization respond to that? >> as i said in the past, i understand that there are different ways of framing issues as you go. i think in both cases what people are basically saying and i think resonates with most people in the public is the tax code is too complicated. so some people talking about abolishing the irs have sent everybody ought to be able to follow on a simple, small card. the only way to do that is if you have a very simple tax code. i've made it clear from the start that while tax policies the domain and province of the treasured partner, the white house and the congress once i've said that i also told a member of the congress everything they wanted to do simple by the tax code we will do our best to try to help to support them. because it

i would be ashamed to run the irs if i was in charge of the irs. >> it's millions of phone calls. what we did today in this hearing is look, here is where the money is $60 billion in bonuses paid out. 500,000 hours in paid union activity supported by the american taxpayer. $2.1 million going to a whited shoe law firm with 1,000 bucks an hour paid by billed by partners. >> what law firm. >> i don't know off the top of my head. >> they have got a lot of lawyers. why can't the irs use the lawyers inside? >> $100 million for enforcement that they have used -- they took money out of this account, put it on the enforcement side, $100 million that the irs could do every year, according to the gao and inspector general if they did private debt collection. >> why does congress tolerate this? >> we are making some progress. two areas we are making progress based on the work of the subcommittee. one on civil 50s an issue you and i have talked about in the past. the irs has changed their policies. that's good news. today the commissioner said is on their past practice where you and i have tal

i have talked with 13,000 irs employees. one of the common themes is that they want to help taxpayers. they get satisfaction out of answering questions. one of the concerns they had was when we told them we can only answer simple questions because questions make the cube get longer. we told congress last her that if our budget was flat, let alone cut by $350 million, we expected the level of service would drop to 30 -- 253%. we have to run the filing season. we collect over $3 trillion for the government in the ordinary run of the filing season. if you cut our budget, the only places they can cut is enforcement, taxpayers service and improve -- and improvements in the information technology. our experience has been that 85% of the forms we have been sending out to get used. we have been providing a lot of forms for landfills. for the libraries, we have provided them the basic forms what we provided them a format that would allow them to make copies of any form they wanted. they could download and make copies of those. anyone

so why is the irs ignoring our calls for help? >>> the world's biggest retailer has a plan to give you big savings at the checkout but can they beat amazon and target prices? >>> for better or worse, and in debt? saying i do mean marrying your spouse's college loan debt? "the willis report"'s money coach is here with the answer. >>> major reversal in arkansas. why the governor is now refusing to sign the state's religious freedom bill. >> this is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial but these are not ordinary times. >> we're taking a lap around the new york auto show. we have the hottest new cars to hit the market. all that and more coming up on "the willis report," where consumers are our business. gerri: if you are one of the millions of americans scrambling to file your taxes by april 15th, don't expect much help from the irs. they say, things have gotten so bad for them, they're ignoring more than 60% of taxpayer calls. >> the underfunding of the agency is the most critical challenge facing the irs today. a

no agency more frustration than the irs. -- no agency elicits more frustration than the irs. compliance with the irs alone -- just think, the president's budget calls for raising taxes by more than $2 trillion. republicans are offering a better approach. first, that needs fixing our tax code. it is a jumble of outdated provisions held together with scotch tape. that doesn't help create jobs and it doesn't serve the interest of the american people. we must address the people's misgivings with the irs. this agency still operates in the shadow of a scandal in which an admitted to targeting organizations based on political elites. the investigation is ongoing but the irs still refuses to admit that some of its employees engaged in intentional wrongdoing. to successfully carry out its mission, the irs must be viewed by the american people as an unbiased arbiter of the lot. he cannot do that without coming clean. next week, the house will act on several initiatives that will require more accountability and transparency at the irs. this includes enacting a taxpayer bill of rights, c

you name it and the irs has named it peter rothman congressman, what is your plan to reign in the irs? >> there are seven bills that are actually going to be considered by the house of representatives tomorrow that are focused at doing exactly that reigning in the irs first is going to be a taxpayer bill of rights. taxpayers have have an expectation that they are going to be treated fairly and so forth. there is enumerated bill of rights that are placed at the responsibility of the commissioner of the irs there is another piece of legislation that emails are only used on official basis and we don't have any of this nonsense that we have seen like with other government agencies that are using confidential information and getting it outside of this purview or how about this? the irs has reached out to some taxpayers and they have sent them threatening letters. this is an example of one of those letters comes not irs after made a gift. we think that might be a taxable event. it's ridiculous. it's not a taxable event. we are trying to make sure that those types of donations are treated as

>> well, it wasn't just she was working for the irs, she was working for the ethics office of the irs, which would come as probably no surprise to a lot of american taxpayers. what i don't quite get in this is what she was doing representing private clients when she's working for the irs too. gerri: little outside work, little bonus little extra. >> what's interesting about this case is that at one points, she apparently left a file, a private file about a taxpayer on a party bus, headed i think to new york, and when she was caught she said my boss, he'll cover for me. david: maybe not. she's no longer working for the irs. gerri: i got to tell you, i have to share the details that we repeat often, i'll admit it. irs rehires exstaffers who have big problems. 824 of 7100 employees h employment issues. of those 141 had documented tax problems. so they hire these people back despite the fact that maybe they don't pay their taxes. they've had some other kind of issue. it seems to me if you were at the gate. charged at the helm with collecting taxpayer dollars, this would not be the way you

end the irs before it ends us? >>> why do you want to end ther is centers and even in your materialized dream world with a single rate flat tax only on consumed income someone would still be in charge of collecting tax revenues to pay for the national defense and -- >> guest: sure. as you in the from the book, this is a sweep of history. we went from one to two percent of our income being collected in taxes prior to the american revolution, before the original tea party. one to two percent in london they were paying 20%. it's expensive to run an empire. we paid one to two. we were greg and moving along and tremendous things happened. over time, the series of things happened and government got bigger and bigger and taxes got higher and higher and more complex and more repetitive, and the economy slowed and our relative strength compared to the rest of the world slowed and reversed, and the question is, we were doing very well. we moved a. from a policy to work to one that doesn't work as well. how do we get back the

the irs is not doing its job here.nd one of the problems that we've had to pass a law this week -- there's a law passed in the househouse of representatives to ban hillary clinton from working at the irs and doing what she did at the state department. you can no longer, when this bill passes completely through use your private gmail accounts. and irs agents have been putting your data and mine on their accounts. now when hillary was letting other people read our state secrets on her email account, but our personal data, this will be a crime. gerri: i have to tell you, this is astonishing to me. what you're describing is that irs agents, when they leave the agency, they still have access to all of the computer information. there's that, and then there are the hackers. the people who get in the middle. why can they get in the middle? because the irs has such flimsy security systems. the gao reported on this recently. they said the irs's failure to secure its massive database is making taxpayers private information vulner

>> rand paul the irs, going against the irs, going against deficits calling for balanced budget amendmentoing for term limits he hit three sweet spots. yes, red meat for the republican base. those things poll 75%, 80% of the electorate supports those positions. republicans too often deny themselves the opportunity in general elections to reach out to other voters because they don't talk, especially balanced budget amendment and especially term limits. those things are lightning in a bottle for republicans. rand paul is smart to bring it up. gerri: quick last word. >> populist themes. obviously american people are skeptical even though they like it because they have never seen a politician accomplish it. gerri: really good point. when you talk flat tax, any of this stuff, you have to think, can it get done. brad, chris, thanks for coming on the show tonight. great job. >> you bet. gerri: we'll look at the role washington should play or pay in the housing recovery. the warning about the world's biggest mutual fund company. the so-called dark side of van guard next. ♪ excellent looking below

i mean the irs -- >> they're not coming for you if you don't owe money. >> the irs assesses penalties who owe money. there are a bunch of people getting a refund. >> i don't have to file anything at all. >> no no. but don't worry about the deadline. so what if you're a day late and they owe you a refund. if they owe you money, you should have filed a month ago. >> exactly right. there are a lot of people in the situation that is, i can't get all the documents together. i'm not ready. some don't file altogether. that's a big mistake. >> no one should advocate evading taxes or avoiding taxes. everyone should pay the tax that's due to them. there's a lot of things going on in this day and age. k1s in particular. if you belong to a partnership, traditionally they're a little bit late. >> the brokerage statements are late. come on. >> you know what file an extension. it's not a big deal. now -- >> but if you file an extension, you have to pay the bill. >> well filing an extension means that you're extending what you owe. you still have to pay your tax on time so you guesstimate or estimate

why you want to into the irs? and even in your materialist dream world with a single rate flat tax only on consumer income, so as to be in charge of collecting tax revenue to pay for the national defense and -- >> guest: as you know this is a sweep of history. it talks about we went from one to 2% of our income been collected in taxes prior to the american revolution. before the original tea party. in london in the bank 20%. it's expensive to run an empire. we were growing, moving along at carbon sinks happen. over time a series of things happen and government got bigger and bigger and taxes are at higher and higher and more complex and more repetitive. the economy slowed and our relative strength compared to the rest of the world slowed and reversed. the question is we were doing very well. we moved away from a policy that worked to one that doesn't work as well. how do we get back there? solutions part of it is the things you do today that fix things. tomorrow. i do think we can look forward to a time when perha

you don't have to hire anybody from late night tv to deal with the irs. they can work with an installment agreement, you can develop an installment agreement on line, one of the things we've built up over the last year. financial difficulties they can work with us about an offer in compromise to figure out how to settle it. those are tax administration issues and we're responsible for those. >> i'm nearly into senator mccaskill's time. one last question, these 34 -- said 36 provisions, it's 34 provisions of the aca, who's the point person inside the irs for the tax administration of all of the new aca authorities? >> ultimately the commissioner is, which is why i'm here. in other words, i've spent -- met every two weeks for the last 15 months with the i.t. people program office the business people working toward the implementation of the development of the systems, implementation of them making sure the filing season got started. i'm ultimately responsible. >> and it's your judgment the irs is up to the task of administering all new aca authorities? >> fi

it is a great time for the irs collecting $3 trillion. you may be pulling your hair out by the end of the day. the irs saying you may not be able to speak to a real person on the phone today. >> our phone level of service at the start of the filing season was 54 percent. as we have gotten closer to the end of the filing season it dipped below 40 percent. that means more than six out of 10 people who called could not reach a live person. >> blaming the poor service on flash budgets and under staffing. >> after five years of budget cuts and hiring freeze that lastedd four years people need to understand the irs is going to have to do less with less. it means both enforcement and tax payer service will suffer. the problem is there are levels of staffing are insufficient to deliver on our mission. >> despite commissioner's claims the irs is still spending our money. orrin hatch chair of the senate committee blatsing the irs for a series of multi-million dollar purchases by the agency. included $4.3 million on market research and public opinio

so, how, as an irs, are you able to handle that situation? what is the plan moving forward for those folks that were receiving credits or subsidies? >> those qualifications were made by cms and hhs, which runs medicare and medicaid and has experience on recouping improper payments or payments made in error. so this is an area where they will be responsible for doing that. >> that won't even be run through the irs? >> no. in other words if they weren't -- again as you say if they weren't filing, they will -- you know if the premiums have been paid on their behalf at this point the idea is that cms will pursue those to the extent that they pursue any other payments that they make you know, that turn out to be improper. >> okay. i can see this is going to be a very difficult situation with so many different entities involved with subsidies, tax credits, one agency not knowing how another agency's going to handle it. >> no we work together on that. there's not a gap. this has been, as somebody noted earlier, an effort that's not totally unique bu

sure the irs blames budget cuts. a new report says those same cuts did not prevent the agency from doling out bonuses, spending time to implement obamacare or letting workers conduct union activity. these are misplaced priorities at the agency. >> lauren home depot removing toxic chemical from the vinyl floors because of potential risks for kids. >> home depot removing the chemical salaid from floorings. they are often used in toys but dangerous levels pose a risk to children who touch toys and put their hands in their mouth. most of the floors don't have the chemical but they will remove it by the end of the year. >>> another move byam zon to help us skip the store. >> amazon wants the car trunk to be the delivery hot spot. they are teaming up to put products right in customer's trunks. participating audi owners must have cars that allow keyless access as well as wireless testing for the tests to work. but another clever test by the company that does everything. >> i don't know about that. >> thank you, loren. >> th

the irs just doesn't seem to be stepping up?y about it, one of the proposals was offered by congressman from dallas texas, and he said that it has to be a requirement under the law that confidential taxpayer information cannot be sent to a personal e-mail of an irs employee, for example, or congressman from ohio said if you are target based on political philadelphia or some other criterion that ought not to be used, that's a firing offense. we also move through a taxpayer bill of rights to make sure that it's the commissioners responsibility at the internal revenue service to make sure that substantive rights are enforced at the internal revenue service. it's cumulative, there's a great deal of work that needs to be done. gerri: congressman, i have to tell you. if we have a taxpayer for the bill of rights just for the irs to do its job, that just doesn't seem right to me. they should have their feet hell to the fire to the responsibilities that they have right now. how do we get that done? >> well, i think one of the ways you ge

who doesn't dislike the irs, which begs the question, why were they polling about the irs?e will conduct a poll right here. we don't like you. it was free. we did it here, "outnumbered" research. >> why don't republicans do that. >> i don't know, harris. singing off different song sheet. one wanted to defund. ted cruz. repeal the medical device tax. it is winning issue. democrats would defend the unlikeable irs and president. >> defense of some republicans two of them anyway, mike huckabee and ted cruz talked about getting rid of the irs. one through national sales tax which i'm not so big on. >> that is not realistic. >> why not? we're in control. still a democracy. if we don't like something we get what we want. >> it's a good talking point that republicans use to go out on speeches but a realistic provision, stripping the irs's ability to enforce obamacare and make democrats try to vote against that they would have all had to vote -- >> i want to know why they need a stair climber? that is the question. >> we had john koskinen, who is now the commissioner of irs very arr
