EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Chris Canty made the most out of his first post-lockout visit back to the New York Giants practice facility.
While other teams in the NFL did not allow players to do much in their practice facilities, the Giants opened their doors and let the defensive tackle into the weight room to get a workout in.
As one of three Giants who visited the team's Timex Performance Center, Canty worked out and met with coaches.
However, after letting Canty use the weight room on Tuesday, the Giants announced later in the evening that it will not allow players to work out at the facility on Wednesday should they show up. Players will still be allowed in the facility and can talk to staff members but they will not be allowed to discuss football or football-related business talk.
"We have decided that our workout and training rooms will be closed until we get clarification from the pending challenges to the court's decision," said Pat Hanlon, Giants vice president of communications.
Running back Brandon Jacobs and wide receiver Mario Manningham were the other two Giants who stopped by the facility. Those two did not work out but they did talk to coaches and staff members. Jacobs said he even interrupted an offensive coaches staff meeting to say hello and spent time chatting with head coach Tom Coughlin about family, the lockout and last year's poor finish for the Giants, who missed the playoffs for a second straight year.
It felt great to be back.
"I got a good workout, and felt pretty good," Canty said after spending about two and a half hours at the facility. "Got a chance to meet with the coaches, it was great. We are excited to get back to business as usual."
"I am going to come back as long as the door is open," Canty added about Wednesday. "There was no tension here. Now I know that hasn't exactly been the thing around the rest of the league but coming in here was like we never left. Coach is always excited to have guys back in the building and we are just excited to move forward and get back to work."
U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson on Monday granted the players' request for an injunction to lift the lockout, halting the NFL's work stoppage. The league filed an appeal and the NFL issued a statement indicating players would not be allowed to work out.
"In light of last night's ruling by Judge Nelson, we were directed by the league that if our players showed up at the Timex Performance Center today to treat them with courtesy and respect," said Hanlon. "That message, which sounds a lot like how we always treat our players, was reinforced to our staff by our ownership.
"As of now, three Giants players [Manningham, Canty and Jacobs] have shown up at Timex today, a number that is understandable given that we are all awaiting further rulings from the court and both the league and the NFLPA have indicated we need time to sort out the meaning of the current status of the litigation."
Manningham was the first to arrive at the facility, close to 11:30 in the morning. The wide receiver left at noon, declining to comment.
Canty arrived around that time for his workout and was immediately greeted by Charles Way, the team's director of player development. Jacobs visited just before Canty left and remained over an hour after talking to coaches and even grabbing some gumbo in the cafeteria.
Canty was curious why reporters kept asking repeatedly about him working out in the weight room. He was then told that that the New York Jets did not allow their players access to the weight room or training facilities.
"OK, but this is the New York Football Giants, though," Canty said. "It is not the Jets."
Jacobs said he came to the facility out of curiosity after his agent told him to see if he could go inside.
The running back said he will return to work out Wednesday and he praised the organization for being so accommodating to the players.
"That is the difference between this organization and all the other ones out there," Jacobs said. "They want us to get in and get some work in because after all is said and done, we are still their players and we are going to be the ones playing so why keep all of our resources from us?"
Canty flew in on Tuesday morning from Charlotte, where he was spending time with his family for Easter. The defensive tackle reportedly has a $250,000 workout bonus in his contract. It is not clear whether Tuesday's workout session counts toward that bonus with the labor uncertainty but Canty couldn't have hurt his cause by getting a workout in the team facility on the first day he could do so after the lockout was lifted.
"Whether it counts or not, I am here," Canty said. "That is the important thing. This is going to go a long ways toward our team being successful ... us working out together at the Timex Performance Center."
Canty knows that things can change in the next few days with the NFL appealing.
"But it still presents an opportunity for us to get in here and meet with the coaches and get in here and work out and lift in our facility which is better than the alternative," Canty said.
Canty and Jacobs both hope more players come in on Wednesday. Jacobs thinks as many as 13 to 14 players could be at the facility.
The running back wants to keep working out at the team facility and hopes that eventually his good buddy Ahmad Bradshaw will be working out with him later this offseason. Bradshaw will either become a restricted or unrestricted free agent based on whatever the new collective bargaining agreement rules. The Giants hope to re-sign Bradshaw but both running backs wonder if the team will be able to keep them on the roster. Jacobs will make $4.65 million in 2011 and $4.9 million in 2012.
The Giants could draft a running back in this week's draft as insurance in case they cannot re-sign Bradshaw, who wants to remain with the Giants.
"I hope he is back, I'd hate to see someone get a back like that," Jacobs said of Bradshaw. "I have no idea about what's going to happen. Whatever they do, they do. All I can do is make best of whatever they do. As much as I want Ahmad to be here with me, him and Danny [Ware], I also have my family as well which has to continue to eat."
The future of the sport of football remains unpredictable as well. But at least for one day, Jacobs, Canty and Manningham got to return back to the facility and talk to the coaches and chat about football like nothing had changed.
"Coach Coughlin said, 'Hey, the grass out there is ready to go,'" Canty said. "He said, 'Let's get this thing going.'"

The song was part of an official track list that Barbadian
singer Rihanna tweeted to her followers for her upcoming
album"Unapologetic," and comes after weeks of speculation in
the media that the couple have rekindled their romance being
spotted together at numerous events.
While Rihanna, 24, has stayed mum on her relationship status
with Brown, the "Turn Up The Music" singer attended Rihanna's
Halloween party last week and tweeted a photograph of himself
dressed in Arab robes and a rifle.
Brown, 23, is currently halfway through his five-year
probation after pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna on the
eve of the Grammy awards in 2009. He was ordered to complete
community service and a domestic violence programme.
Brown was given permission by a Los Angeles judge to embark
on his European tour at a recent hearing overseeing his
progresson his probation.
The former couple have had a tumultuous relationship in the
last three years, including a restraining order against Brown
following the assault.
But recently the two singers have made peace, coming together
on a remix of Rihanna's raunchy song "Birthday Cake"earlier
this year.
The Barbadian singer told Oprah Winfrey in an emotional
interview in August that she and Brown now had a "very close
friendship," and that she still loved him.
Other collaborations on Rihanna's upcoming
"Unapologetic"album include rapper Eminem, newcomer
singer-songwriter Mikky Ekko and rapper Future.

Jersey Shore's Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) could still win the trademark rights to her nickname for use in books. The sisters who wrote Adventures of Snooky, staking a prior claim, are willing to discuss a deal.
Karen Monaghan-Arnone and Maureen Monaghan-Faber, both graduates of Upper Dublin High, say they hope to use the money to raise funds to fight the kind of cancer that killed their brother, Brian, in 2002. Getting the Snooky children's book into print was one of his deathbed requests.
The Dresher-raised sisters say the name Snooky grew from Snookums, the nickname used for Maureen by her husband.

Some people seem to believe that if we will all just "buy American", our economy and the balance of trade will magically just work itself out.
"BE AMERICAN....BUY AMERICAN !" shout their bumper stickers.
Ever seen, or heard of, the Emma Maersk ? It's been pictured on a number of sites this year.
The Emma Maersk is a container ship, that was built (Where else ? ) in China for a Danish shipping line, Maersk Lines, oddly enough.
But Emma has never been to Denmark. She's way too big to go through the Panama Canal.
SPECIFICS: Length 1,302 '
Width (Beam to you old salts) 207'
Carry Capacity 123,200 Tons
Crew 13
Avg Speed 31 knots
Did you get that ? Crew of 13 ! ! ! What is that ? Four crew members to a watch ?
And this ship takes 4 days less than orther carriers on the same tranist across the Pacific Ocean, partly due to its speed, and partly due to the teflon coating of the lower hull which reduces fuel consumption tremendously. I wonder why the Chinese need the Danes ? Why don't they just buil the ships, and run them ?
I believe there is a fleet of at least four of these vessles making trips on any given day, and bringing Wal-Mart its stuff, in 15,000 container loads....
That's right, Wal-Mart sends nothing back. It's a one way flood of lead tainted goods for all of your holiday delights.
The simple fact of the matter that every unemployed ex-factory worker knows is you can't buy American cause America don't make NUTHIN !
Twenty five years ago I did a experiment that required a yellow pad and a black ball point pen.
I took the pen and pad with me to Bloomingdale's department store in Stamford CT during the Christmas shopping weeks.
Went around the entire two stories of the store, followed by suspicious store employees, and I picked up virtually every item in the store to determine where they were made. Drove the various dept managers nuts.....they could not believe what I was up to. They were sure i was a spy from Macy's.
I found two classes of goods made in the USA. One was some bedding, and the other was towels, and fabric bathroom accessories.
That was it ! Nothing else home grown in the entire store...........and that was twenty five years ago. Things have not gotten any better.
I did find something stamped "Made In The USA" the other day. There's a grating cover on a sewer opening on 7th Street in St Augustine Beach.
I think the city hall here on Anastasia should take it out of the road, and send it up to the Smithsonian.
So much as I'd LIKE to buy American......I can't. It doesn't exist.

The Heart of A Racer
By: FF WU on April 29, 2011 - 1:06am - Add new comment
I have enjoyed CUP racing on the NASCAR circuit since 1969 when I was in Daytona for my first 500.
I spent a number of years writing about it, and actually did the whole schedule in the 1970's thru the '80's. Wandered off into other things about 1989, and then moving this close to Daytona in 2009, the 2010 Daytona 500 stirred up the old interests. What the heck, it was only 50 minutes down A1A.
But just like Rip Van Winkle, when I awoke from my NASCAR nap things had moved on.

The Perfect Wife (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
The perfect wife should be beautiful, trusting, and absolutely agreeableor so the Earl of Wyldewood thought. But in New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's intriguing tale, he finds that marriage is about more than mere appearances . . .
When the Earl of Wyldewood meets Sabrina Winfield, he thinks he's found the ideal match. Graceful and genteel, the elegant blonde will look simply exquisite displayed on his arm. And a lady like Sabrina will undoubtedly occupy her time with proper matters, leaving him free to pursue his own pleasures . . .
But beneath Sabrina's delicate beauty lies the most infuriatingly stubborn, wildly adventurous woman the earl has ever met. She's nothing like the perfect wife he had imagined. And before long, all he can think of is quieting her biting wit (with his kisses), putting an end to her outlandish schemes (with his own carefully planned seduction), and doing everything in his power to become the perfect husband.
About the Author
Alexander turned from a career as an award-winning television news reporter to writing fiction. She also teaches broadcast journalism at Creighton University.

PowerPoint Presentation for students (PDF) More 'hands on' particle physics: learning with ATLAS at CERN (Long, L. Phys. Educ. 46 (2011) 270-280). Abstract This article introduces teachers and students to some resources now on a new portal called Discover the Cosmos (http://portal.discoverthecosmos.eu/), which has been developed by a European consortium of academic researchers and schools' liaison and outreach providers from countries across Europe. It includes the use of some of the mind-boggling facts and figures from the Large Hadron Collider experiment to illustrate some basic school physics concepts. It also uses innovative software adapted and made available on the web by European particle physics researchers to introduce a more innovative investigative approach to teaching particle physics concepts. This gives students a more 'hands-on' experience in the classroom and a feel for what real scientific research might be like. Cloud Chambers for schools - cloud chambers can be hired for a nominal amount from the Particle Physics research group, together with help in setting up experiments and ideas for data collection/projects in class – more info and contacts here.

IEC Corporation
Shaping the Future of Energy TM
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Water and Power awarded IEC Corporation with a three year contract to provide Owner's Representative Services for its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Projects.
IEC is assisting the Department in a wide variety of tasks including engineering and technical support, design review, project management support, cyber security compliance, substation design, security projects, converter stations testing, Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Program, and various facilities work. The award for providing Owner's Representative services follows IEC's successful four-year contracts supporting the Department's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Projects. The contract will assist LADWP in achieving its goals of increasing procurement of eligible renewable energy resources to 33% by 2020.
October 2015 - IEC was awarded a five-year contract to provide a wide range of project management services for ongoing capital projects. Projects will include highly technical engineering, construction and maintenance projects on which IEC will assist and be responsible for the oversight, administration, safety, and management.
Anchorage, Alaska, May 2015 - The George M. Sullivan Plant Expansion for Anchorage Municipal Light & Power (AML&P) has been selected by Engineering News and Review as the ENR Northwest Owner of the Year. As noted in the ENR article , IEC has been embedded with AML&P from Day 1, collaborating on development of project scope, specifications and project execution.
After winning the Owner's Engineering contract with Anchorage Municipal Light & Power (AML&P) to support the development of a 120 MW combined cycle power project, AML&P recently awarded IEC with a $6.9 million, two-and-a-half year contract extension to continue its on-site support and provide construction management, design review, field engineering, and special inspection services. The project will use an innovative cooling system design coupled with the water district to capture more than 50% of the plant's annual waste energy to heat the community potable water supply for the City of Anchorage. The new power plant will be about 25 percent to 30 percent more efficient with a combined-cycle design that combines gas-fired turbines with sufficient waste heat recovery to drive an additional steam turbine.
November 2015 - The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) has awarded IEC Corporation with a three (3) year contract to provide Thermal Power Plant Engineering Services to perform engineering for plant modifications, repairs, improvements, system analysis, studies and evaluations. SMUD's thermal facilities include three (3) co-generation, one (1) simple cycle, and one (1) combined cycle thermal power plants.

Radiation-induced defects cause severe degradation of materials properties during irradiation that can ultimately cause the material to fail. Consequences of these defects include swelling, embrittlement, and undesirable phase transformations. Nanocrystalline materials, which contain a high density of grain boundaries, have demonstrated enhanced radiation tolerance compared to large grain counterparts under certain conditions. This is because, as has long been recognized, grain boundaries can serve as defect sinks for absorbing and annihilating radiation-induced defects. Increasingly, researchers have examined how grain boundaries influence the direct production of defects during collision cascade, the origin of the radiation-induced defects. In this review article, we analyze the computational studies in this area that have been performed during the past two decades. These studies examine defect production near grain boundaries in metallic, ionic, and covalent systems. It is found that, in most systems, grain boundaries absorb more interstitials than vacancies during the defect production stage. While this is generically true of most boundaries, the detailed interaction between defects and grain boundaries does depend on boundary atomic structure, the stress state near the boundary, cascade-boundary separation, and materials properties. Furthermore, the defect distribution near boundaries is qualitatively different from that in single crystals, with the former often exhibiting larger vacancy clusters and smaller interstitial clusters than the latter. Finally, grain boundaries that are damaged after cascades have occurred exhibit different interaction behavior with defects than their pristine counterparts. Together, these atomistic simulation results provide useful insight for both developing higher-level modeling of defect evolution at long timescales and how interfaces influence radiation damage evolution.

Re: Where does CRA go to verify info on medical collection
When you dispute through a CRA, the ultimate decision on the dispute is not made by the furnisher of the disputed information. That decision is conferred upon the CRA, who must assemble all relevant information, and then, under their reinvestigation of the information, make the decision.
As part of that reinvestigation, yes, the CRA is required to send a copy of your dispute (sanitized with their e-Oscar process) to the party who reported the disputed information. That furnisher is then required to conduct their investigation, and report back to the CRA. The results of the furnisher's investigation are usually the only substantive information that the CRA has to make its determination, so for practical purposes, the furnisher's results usually are rubber-stamped by the CRA.
If your dispute relates to issues other than the specific accuracy of their reporting, such as building a case under the so-called HIPAA process, how much CRA independent determination is exercised depends upon exactly what you are disputing. If they can verify from their own records, the furnisher response may not be their major factor.
What, exactly, was the basis for your dispute? Just saying you disputed does not clarify how much verification they need from the OC.

Debts to the IRS aren't normally discharged in bankruptcy proceedings, but the 83-year-old Bailey said Friday that they can be if one abides by certain conditions, such as filing and paying his taxes on time since the original taxes and...

Three patients with XO sex chromosome constitutions had human growth hormone (HGH) measurements. Exogenous HGH was given to one patient to observe its effect on linear growth. All patients had normal HGH response to hypoglycemia or arginine maleate stimulation. The growth rate of the treated patient was followed during three one-year periods. During the control period the patient's growth rate was 0.23 cm/month. It increased to 0.5 cm/month while she was receiving HGH, 10 mg/ week. During the last period, she took small doses of estrogenic substances conjugated and grew 0.3 cm/ month. Although the patient with Turner's syndrome is genetically destined to be short, growth may be stimulated in some patients with exogenous HGH.

Politics Other White Lies
posted by October 25 at 11:16 AMon
The conversation my brother started below about believing or not believing accusations of rape is complicated. The pendulum has swung from blame-the-victim to assume-the-accused-is-guilty not just in the area of sexual violence, but in "hate crimes" in general, as a case here at Northwestern demonstrated a couple of years ago.
An Hispanic male freshman had "die spic" and some other stuff appear on the message board outside his room in one of the dorms. Understandable uproar ensues, much wringing of hands.
The next week: he says someone jumps him, puts a knife to his throat and makes some threats.
I hear this story before it hits the Daily Northwestern and immediately, in front of witnesses, say, "Bullshit. Never happened. Kid made it up." Why? My son-of-a-cop instinct about criminals and the nature of different sorts of crimes. Someone who'd write something mean and hateful and prejudiced and bad anonymously on a message board was a coward, not someone who'd jump out of some bushes with a fucking knife at 2 in the morning. And the kid couldn't identify the attacker, race or height or weight. Claimed to be too freaked out.
But after my initial expression of doubt, I kept my peace—wouldn't want to appear insensitive to hate crimes. News coverage, student marches against hate etc, ensue. Kid gives impassioned speech against hate crimes, becomes campus hero.
A few weeks later, turns out the kid was lying. He wrote the slurs on his own board, he made up the knife attack. He wanted to be a campus leader and expose how evil hate crimes were. He gets kicked out of school and prosecuted for filing false police reports.
Lesson learned: anyone can lie. Facts are facts. Reserve judgment about serious matters until you know some facts.
Y'all remember Susan Smith, don't you?

2009 Tax Filing Season:
IRS Met Many 2009 Goals, but Telephone Access Remained Low, and Taxpayer Service and Enforcement Could Be Improved
GAO-10-225: Published: Dec 10, 2009. Publicly Released: Jan 11, 2010.

The Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) filing season is an enormous undertaking that includes processing tax returns, issuing refunds, and responding to taxpayer questions. IRS's efforts to ensure compliance begin during the filing season. GAO was asked to assess IRS's 2009 filing season performance, identify ways to reduce taxpayers' use of short-term, high-interest refund anticipation loans (RAL) offered by paid preparers or banks, and identify ways to enhance compliance during processing. GAO analyzed IRS performance data, reviewed IRS operations, interviewed IRS officials, and reviewed its compliance programs and relevant statutes.
IRS processed 139 million returns and issued $298 billion in refunds as of October 2, 2009. Electronic filing, which provides IRS with significant cost savings and taxpayers with faster refunds, increased to 68 percent of all returns filed. While taxpayers' access to telephone assistors was better than last year, it remained lower than in 2007 in part because of calls about tax law changes. Compared to 2005 through 2007, IRS reduced its goal for assistor answered calls in 2009 and set its 2010 goal at 71 percent. Despite heavy call volume, the accuracy of IRS responses to taxpayers' questions remained above 90 percent. IRS started a major data collection effort on why taxpayers call, but lacks a plan to analyze the data and improve telephone service. According to IRS, issuing refunds faster reduces taxpayers' use of RALs, high-interest loans made by paid tax preparers or banks in anticipation of a refund. Issuing refunds is a joint effort by IRS, Treasury's Financial Management Service, which checks for non-tax debt owed to the federal government, and the Automated Clearing House, which distributes funds. However, IRS has not coordinated extensively with them to expedite refunds. Further, IRS has not studied the use of debit cards for unbanked taxpayers, which could also reduce taxpayers' use of RALs by providing faster and more secure refunds. IRS automatically identifies and corrects select types of errors while processing tax returns. It could also correct tax returns that claim the Hope credit, a tax credit to help offset qualified education expenses, for longer than the number of years allowed. However, IRS lacks the authority to use prior years' tax return information for this purpose. Also, information reported by education institutions to taxpayers and IRS about qualifying educational expenses on the Form 1098-T is confusing for taxpayers and not useful for IRS. Many institutions report the total amount billed to students, but not what is actually paid after taking into account scholarships and grants. This results in some taxpayers under-claiming benefits, while others over-claim. Finally, because Form 1098-T can show the amount billed, which may not be the amount paid, IRS is unable to use the information to automatically verify taxpayers' claims for the credit through its computerized matching program.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: Legislative searches show that, as of March 30, 2015, Congress had not extended IRS with math error authority (MEA) to use prior years' tax return information to automatically verify taxpayers' compliance with the limit on the number of years the Hope Scholarship Credit can be claimed. The Hope Scholarship Credit was expanded and renamed the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC). The AOTC has been extended through December 31, 2017. Even with the change, Congress did not grant the additional MEA. However, GAO has provided technical assistance to the House Solutions Caucus in drafting legislative language for a bill on extending MEA to use prior years' returns for verifying compliance with limits on the credit. In addition, the Administration included MEA in its General Explanations of fiscal year 2016 Revenue Proposals (also known as the Treasury Green Book).
Matter: Congress may wish to consider providing IRS with math error authority (MEA) to use prior years' tax return information to automatically verify taxpayers' compliance with the limit on the number of years the Hope credit can be claimed.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS updated its analysis plan for contact analytics in February 2011 to include information on the analysis process, including how it plans to identify and define the problem as well as generating possible solutions. GAO reviewed that plan and determined that it contained information that would allow an independent party to understand IRS's plans for collecting data and using contact analytics.
Recommendation: Related to improving IRS's performance during the filing season, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should develop as soon as possible an analysis plan for using the data IRS captures through Contact Analytics.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Between fiscal year 2009 and 2012, IRS has been providing regular updates to the TAB in annual reports to Congress. In those updates, IRS reported it had been including the TAB guiding principles in IRS's strategic planning documents. In April 2013, IRS provided its final summary of implementation of the TAB, including taxpayer improvements. IRS has embedded the concept of improving taxpayer interactions into key documents including its strategic plans. In its strategic plan for fiscal years 2014 through 2017, IRS continues to emphasize taxpayer service. IRS neither agreed nor disagreed with our recommendation when made in 2010. IRS neither agreed nor disagreed with our recommendation when made in 2010. Between the regular updates that were provided to the Congress and continuing to explicitly providing language about improving taxpayer service including in its current strategic plan, IRS has implemented this recommendation.
Recommendation: Related to improving IRS's performance during the filing season, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should explicitly integrate the Taxpayer Assistance Blueprint (TAB) in strategic planning documents.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Although IRS did not update its 2006 RAL report to Congress, Treasury contracted with the Urban Institute for a report on RAL and RAC use which was issued in November 2010 and released to the public in February 2011. Furthermore, IRS reported that, consistent with the principle of this recommendation, it would assess the effectiveness of the debt indicator program and consider changes including its possible elimination. In August 2010, IRS announced it would no longer provide the debt indicator to return preparation companies. As a result, most banks stopped funding RALs in the 2011 filing season.
Recommendation: To further improve refund timeliness and reduce reliance on RALs and refund anticipation checks (RACs), IRS should update and publicly release a report on RAL and RAC use.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS had reported that it agreed with the recommendation and already maintains a constant dialogue on issues. Further, over time, IRS, in conjunction with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (formerly named the Financial Management Service), has issued refunds faster for a variety of reasons. In July 2014, IRS provided documentation that it holds both regular and ad hoc discussions with BFS regarding refund timeliness.
Recommendation: To further improve refund timeliness and reduce reliance on RALs and RACs, IRS should work more proactively with Financial Management Service (FMS) and Automated Clearing House (ACH) to help improve refund timeliness.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS provided GAO with an update to the report's recommendations on 12/08/2010, stating it was exploring a range of alternatives to deliver refunds to unbaked taxpayers. On January 13, 2011, IRS announced a pilot program to provide low-and moderate-income taxpayers to receive federal tax refunds electronically through a Visa prepaid debit card for the 2011 Filing Season.
Recommendation: To further improve refund timeliness and reduce reliance on RALs and RACs, IRS should determine the feasibility of offering debit cards for refunds.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In October 2012, IRS conducted reviews to determine the feasibility of using information reported on the Form 1098-T to better evaluate qualifying educational expenses, as GAO recommended in December 2009. Educational institutions use Form 1098-T to report information about qualifying education expenses to taxpayers and IRS. Based on its internal reviews, in October 2012, IRS determined that it was not feasible to use current information reported on the Form 1098-T in its compliance programs.
Recommendation: To reduce taxpayer confusion and enhance compliance with the eligibility requirements for higher education benefits, IRS should determine the feasibility of using current information reported on Form 1098-T, such as school location and taxpayer identification number or social security number (SSN), in IRS's compliance programs.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Open
Comments: While IRS has not revised Form 1098-T to improve the usefulness of the information being reported, as GAO recommended in December 2009, it has taken other steps toward improving information received from educational institutions and tax filers. For example, IRS identified problems with the accuracy of information reported on Form 1098-T by educational institutions. It is addressing these accuracy issues through outreach to educational institutions before changing the form. For example, to improve information provided to students and families on education tax benefits, IRS reported working with the Department of Education to create an education credit web page on the department's Federal Student Aid website. IRS also changed Form 8863, which is used by taxpayers to claim higher education tax credits. Beginning with tax year 2012, Form 8863 now requires taxpayers to provide additional information, such as the name and address of the educational institutions attended, and the student's year in school. IRS maintains that these changes will provide more flexibility in addressing discrepancies in a timely manner than would be afforded by matching Form 1098-T data to a taxpayer's return. However, changes are still needed to make the cost of attendance reported on Form 1098-T more useful to taxpayers and to IRS. Improving usefulness can be accomplished by requiring that the form reflect the amount actually paid to the educational institution after accounting for scholarships and grants, rather than giving educational institutions the option of reporting either the amount billed or the amount paid. Consistent with GAO's recommendation, the President's fiscal year 2016 budget proposed to modify information reporting on Form 1098-T by requiring institutions of higher learning to report the amounts paid for tuition expenses (not amounts billed) and all scholarships. Form 1098-T could also be revised to more clearly provide additional information about expenses, such as books, supplies, and equipment information educational institutions might already collect and could also be revised to potentially reduce taxpayer confusion and noncompliance, for example, by listing qualified expenses for higher education. Further, section 804 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, which was enacted in June 2015, requires taxpayers to receive a completed Form 1098-T to claim a credit or deduction for education expenses (Public Law 114-27). The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that this requirement should raise approximately $576 million through 2025 by reducing erroneous claims by taxpayers without valid Forms 1098-T.
Recommendation: To reduce taxpayer confusion and enhance compliance with the eligibility requirements for higher education benefits, IRS should revise Form 1098-T to improve the usefulness of information on qualifying education expenses.
