H.R. 9498

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

Ways and Means Committee · Rep. W. Steube (R-FL)

15 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would authorize the National Taxpayer Advocate—an independent office within the IRS that helps taxpayers resolve disputes—to submit legal briefs to federal courts in tax cases that could broadly affect taxpayers' rights. It would require federal courts to allow these submissions, giving the Advocate a voice in cases where taxpayer interests are at stake.
