IRS Ends Private Debt Collection Program

Just in from my tax organization:


IRS Ends Private Debt Collection Program

After conducting an extensive review of the private debt collection program, including the cost effectiveness of the effort, the IRS has announced that they will not renew its contracts with two private debt collection agencies.

The IRS determined that the work is best done by IRS employees who have more flexibility handling cases, which is particularly important with many taxpayers currently facing economic hardship. The current one-year contracts expired Friday, March 6.
