H.R. 9498

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

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

8 September 2026 | Reported by committee (Ways and Means, as amended, H. Rept. 119-799)

What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would allow the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent official within the IRS who helps taxpayers resolve disputes, to participate in federal court cases involving tax law by submitting friend-of-the-court briefs. Courts would be required to permit these appearances when the cases involve issues that could broadly affect taxpayers' rights.
