IRS Set to Resolve Disputes Online - I signed up for this service about a month ago after receiving an invitation from IRS. They said it would take six to eight weeks to activate my account; so I will report on how well it works once I am up and running with it. My big hope is that this will allow us to better track how IRS applies payments. It has long been frustrating trying to prepare tax returns when IRS has applied estimated tax payments to the wrong tax year. This has been happening more often, even when the clients have been writing the year on the face of their check. If this new system works as advertised, I may start verifying each payment with the IRS's computer before posting it to my clients' tax returns.
