OVERVIEW
On April 7, 2017, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration (TIGTA) released the results of its audit to
assess the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) preparations for

rules and related reporting requirements under the Affordable
Care Act (ACA).
The TIGTA audit revealed a number of major system and
operational problems that have hindered or delayed the IRS’
enforcement of these provisions. As a result, the IRS has been
