The IRS announced it has initiated pilot programs to make the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process faster and easier. This process helps taxpayers who have unresolved issues with the IRS. It’s informal, confidential and voluntary. The pilot programs focus on Fast Track Settlement (FTS) and Post-Appeals Mediation (PAM). FTS is a program that allows the IRS’s Independent Office of Appeals to mediate disputes between a taxpayer and the tax agency while the case is still within the jurisdiction of the examination function. PAM is a program in which mediators help foster settlements between the appeals office and taxpayers. For specifics on the programs, visit: https://bit.ly/42iU8Zs
