“This hasn’t been the easiest undertaking for the IRS,” Commissioner Doug Shulman told the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight on Thursday.
Shulman explained that the IRS had sent out information packages to 20.5 million recipients of Social Security or veterans benefits who did not file 2006 tax returns to explain how to claim their payments.
Around 15 million responded.
The commissioner says the agency will soon send a second notice to the remaining 5.2 million and launch an aggressive public relations campaign titled, “It’s Not Too Late to File!”
