IRS and Domestic Violence: What's the Connection?

The Office of Tax Payer Advocates is lobbying for congress to
mandate that certain IRS employees receive domestic violence training to
recognize and address domestic violence for taxpayers that are victims.
Many IRS employees often perceive lack of information, incomplete information or no knowledge of tax information ( which is common with victims of
domestic violence) as deceptive/ illegal activity. The projected result is to bring
awareness to discrepancies, protect victims and prevent the possibility of
penalties to victims.
