More time and privacy in IRS audits
If enacted, the IRS would wait at least 45 days before contacting third parties. You would get a reasonable chance to respond first. You could ask for more time and would need to show reasonable cause. If you could supply the tax liability info and it wasn't already requested, the notice would list each item. The Secretary could allow earlier contact or skip this list when information from someone else is necessary. These rules would apply to notices sent 12 months after enactment.
