The document discusses how Congress should make it easier for taxpayers who still file by mail during tax season. It notes that the IRS no longer mails tax forms and instructions to those who filed by mail previously. This has caused difficulties for those not technologically savvy. The document also mentions that tax fraud and identity theft are at record levels partly due to criminals using e-filing. It recommends that Congress pass the PAPER Act, which would require the IRS to mail tax forms and instructions to those who filed paper returns the previous year to help address these issues.

(NU) - Sponsored News - Tax season is upon us, and once again, taxpayers who aren't tech-

tax year. At the same time, tax fraud and identity theft have reached record levels, much of it

individuals who filed paper returns in the preceding tax year.
