Bill overview
The John Lewis Taxpayer Protection Act aims to protect taxpayers from abusive tax collection practices and enhance support for low-income taxpayers. It does this by repealing rules allowing private tax collection contracts, providing an exclusion for certain debt discharge income, suspending tax levies on retirement savings and disabled taxpayers, and extending deadlines for frivolous submissions. The bill also seeks to regulate tax return preparers and increase funding for low-income taxpayer clinics and IRS taxpayer services.
