Key points
  • Amends the Internal Revenue Code to add a subclause letting the National Taxpayer Advocate, or a delegate, appoint counsel in the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate who report directly to that office
  • Makes a conforming change so the existing reference to local taxpayer advocate offices is replaced with a reference to the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate
  • Applies the amendments as if they had been included in the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, effective from that act's enactment
