WASHINGTON, DC (December 8, 2011)—The National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) today presented testimony at a public hearing meeting held by IRS to gather feedback on how to implement a more “real time,” or upfront matching of tax returns. The proposed system would allow IRS to match information on a taxpayer’s return with information filed by third parties, such as mortgage holders and employers, when the return is first filed.

WASHINGTON, DC (July 28, 2011)—The National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) today presented testimony at a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee Subcommittee on Oversight.
