Recommendations

The Commissioner, Wage and Investment Division, should ensure that all needed computer programming revisions are made prior to the 2016 Filing Season to correctly identify all direct deposit accounts to which more than three direct deposit requests are made so that no more than three direct deposits will be made to a single account.

The Commissioner, Wage and Investment Division, should review the 263 tax returns TIGTA identified for which the IRS incorrectly denied the taxpayer's educator expense deduction and ensure that individuals receive the deduction to which they are entitled.
