Recommendations

The Commissioner, Small Business/Self-Employed Division, should update procedures to provide specific instructions on how to find employer addresses so that lock-in letters are not released based on employer undeliverable mail.

The Commissioner, Small Business/Self-Employed Division, should update the IRM to remove IRS employees from the Outcome 3 category and reflect that they will now be included as part of the WHC review process.
