Tax Court Can Reduce Growing Case Backlog and Expenses through Administrative Improvements.

Abstract

The U.S. Tax Court is not keeping up with the increasing number of cases being filed. As the backlog grows, both taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service are waiting longer to have their cases resolved. GAO believes the court can better cope with its pending cases--which now number more than 58,000--by more fully using available trial time. GAO also suggests some changes that will enable the court to improve its operations and reduce expenses. The Tax Court stated that it has taken action or will take action to implement most of GAO's recommendations. (Author)
