Plain-English Summary

The IRS would be required to send taxpayers written notices every three months if they have an unpaid tax bill, keeping them regularly informed about what they owe. This would affect anyone with outstanding tax debt and could help prevent surprise penalties or collection actions by ensuring people stay aware of their obligations. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.
