The IRS has now made some new changes in its letter -forwarding services. Under this new approach, the IRS has recently stated that they will not provide letter –forwarding services to locate a taxpayer that may be owed assets from an individual, company, or organization. This is important news for missing taxpayers that may be entitled to a retirement plan or other financial benefits.
From now on the IRS expects individuals and companies to use the internet, such as missing person locator services, to find missing tax payers. Due to current budget constraints, the IRS has decided to halt the letter-forwarding program “AKA –free detective services.” “Since the release of this revenue procedure in 1994, several alternative missing person locator resources, including the internet, have become available,” it said. “Accordingly, the Service will no longer consider locating a missing taxpayer who may be entitled to a retirement plan or other financial benefit from an individual, company or organization to be a humane purpose for which the Service will provide letter-forwarding services.”
As a result, the letter forwarding program is limited to situations in which a person is trying to locate a taxpayer to convey a message for a humane purpose as defined in Section 4 or in an emergency situation.
