H.R. 997

National Taxpayer Advocate Enhancement Act of 2025

Finance Committee, Ways and Means Committee · Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA)

28 September 2026 | Passed Senate (unanimous consent)

What's next: Presidential review (±10 days)

Summary: The bill would allow the National Taxpayer Advocate to hire lawyers who work directly under their supervision, rather than under the Treasury Department's General Counsel as currently required. It would also expand the Taxpayer Advocate's authority to make personnel decisions for all employees of the Taxpayer Advocate Service, not just state-level advocates, giving the office greater independence in managing its staff and legal resources.
