1) Preheat the oven to 450° F.
2) Remove and discard the excess fat from the chicken.
3) Remove the tips off the chicken wings.
4) Rub butter all over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
5) Stuff a small, halved onion in the cavity of the chicken.
6) On a roasting pan, arrange the chicken with the breasts facing upwards.
7) Turn down the oven temperature to 350° F when you place the roasting pan inside.
8) Roast the chicken for about 1 1/2 hours. Check to see if the juices run clear by pricking the thigh region with a fork.
9) Baste the chicken with its own juices in between the cooking time. Remove onto a serving plate and wrap with an aluminium foil.
10) Rinse the fresh mushrooms. Chop up finely.
11) If using dried morels, soak in a cup of hot water for about 10 minutes till it swells up. Strain the liquid through a double folded cheesecloth. Set aside.

Wildfire Sparked by Army Explosives Training, Commissioner SaysEdward Johnson
A wildfire that destroyed huge tracts of bushland west of Sydney threatening lives and homes was sparked by the army carrying out explosives training, authorities said.
The State Mine blaze in the Blue Mountains region was caused by "ordnance detonation on a live firing range," New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told reporters today. The blaze has burnt through more than 47,000 hectares (116,000 acres) of forest in the Blue Mountains region, destroying at least 10 homes and buildings, according to the fire service.
The Defense Force said in a statement it was cooperating with police and was conducting its own inquiry into the training exercise at the Marrangaroo Army Range on Oct. 16, the same day the fire started.
More than 200 homes have been destroyed in bushfires in Australia's most-populous state since last week, with about 120,000 hectares of forests scorched, according to the Rural Fire Service. Bushfire property loss is expected to be more than A$128 million ($123 million) with 987 claims received, the Insurance Council of Australia said yesterday in a posting on Twitter.

You have to wonder what Dick Lugar is thinking these days. Here he is, the longest-serving Member of Congress in Indiana history, the most senior Republican in the U.S. Senate. Why, he's been in Washington, D.C. since 1976, the year of the Bicentennial. Frampton Comes Alive was a chart sensation. Remember that crazy sounding, talking guitar?
St. Richard, as I like to call him, is going to be 80 years old this April, just a month before Indiana's Republican primary. In years past, this primary amounted to little more than a gesture, the equivalent of a doorman at the Columbia Club clearing the way, with a hearty, "Welcome home, sir!"
This year is different. State Treasurer Richard Mourdock has decided the time has come to unseat St. Richard. Mourdock is a dour looking fellow who, by his own admission, is charismatically challenged. But this hasn't deterred him from going after Indiana's biggest political game. Rather than allow Lugar a six-year swan song, Mourdock is nipping at Lugar's well-shod heels.
Once, not so long ago, a challenge like this would have been unthinkable. Indiana has traditionally been a state where genuine differences between Republicans and Democrats have been so slim that, when it comes to prestige offices, one party usually defers to the other if there's a candidate who appears to have even a scintilla of strength.
Republicans were content to let Evan Bayh be first a governor and then a senator for as long as he wanted. And Democrats have treated Mitch Daniels in like manner.
The party bosses, who like us to think they're involved in a competitive enterprise, will tell you this has to do with money. They say it's a waste of resources to spend funds on campaigns that are bound to lose. In any place other than Indiana, this is what is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the Hoosier state, it means that our politics disconcertingly resemble the Soviet-era politburo.
Dick Lugar took to this kind of politics like bread crumbs on a tenderloin. From the days when he was the beloved mayor of Indianapolis, the man who gave us Unigov — a plan to broaden the city's tax base while, at the same time, creating a Republican political machine — through the George Bush, Jr. years, when he voted with that Republican president more than any other senator, Lugar has been the consummate party animal.
He has even managed to win over most of the state's Democrats. They like his self-deprecating erudition, the common-sense touch he brings to such worldly issues as nuclear nonproliferation. This is what makes him a kind of saint — and, at any other time, his Senate seat a virtual sinecure.
But these, as the Chinese proverb puts it, are interesting times. This is especially true when it comes to Lugar's Republican party. Today's version of Republicanism doesn't remotely resemble the party Lugar exemplified back in the 1970s. When Lugar entered the Senate, he joined such Republican colleagues as Jacob Javits, Edward Brooke, Charles Percy and Mark Hatfield — all of whom could pass as liberal Democrats by today's right-wing standards.
It's hard to say what today's Republicans stand for. Driven by the anger of the Tea Party, a semi-grassroots insurgency seemingly driven as much by an inability to reconcile itself to the presence of an African-American president as by his policies, a large number of which have been lifted from previous Republican playbooks, the GOP has devolved into a party of chronic complaint.
That's where Richard Mourdock comes in. Mourdock has based his entire reason for being on the notion that Dick Lugar and Barack Obama are locked in a liberal embrace. On his website, Mourdock cites what he calls "The Obama Agenda" as a way of contrasting himself with Lugar, saying: "Obama's agenda of runaway federal spending and expanded government control over nearly every aspect of the economy is contrary to the tradition of free enterprise and limited government that makes America great."
Mourdock goes on to outline what he's against (abortion, supposedly liberal supreme court justices, illegal immigrants, saving the auto industry, TARP, the START Treaty, earmarks and Obamacare) and what he's for (guns and a balanced federal budget).
Poor St. Richard. To hear Mourdock tell it, our senior senator is now sleepwalking through an endless senior moment. Why, he doesn't even know where he lives! He sold the house on Highwoods Ct. that he lists as his residence in 1977. Dubious origins are apparently another thing Lugar and Obama have in common.
Lugar claims that Linley Pearson, Indiana's Republican attorney general back in the day, told him not to worry about the matter of where he actually lived. The current AG, another Republican, Greg Zoeller, agrees. Nothing to look at here, folks.
For a man knee-deep in the shambles his political party has become, this agreement across generations of Republican hackdom must be reassuring. This is finally the kind of loyalty one could always count on from local subordinates, the apparatchiks who, when called on, would carry water for their elders. It's just like old times.
When I was in sixth grade, I had a teacher, Mrs. Rider, who asked us: "What makes America different from all other countries?"
A bunch of preadolescent arms shot up, as several of us dared to guess the answer. As I remember it, most of these guesses were inspired by the lines of patriotic songs and pledges, like "liberty and justice for all," and "home of the brave."
Then Mrs. Rider called on Bob Freck. Bob was sitting toward the back of the class. He was a friendly, slightly heavyset kid. Like many of us, his complexion was beginning to play rude tricks on an otherwise thoughtful countenance.
"America has a middle class?"
Although delivered with a touch of uncertainty, this was the answer Mrs. Rider was looking for. After congratulating Bob for his insight, she began a discussion of American social mobility. "How many of your parents have been to college?" she asked.
Fewer than half the kids in the room raised their hands.
Mrs. Rider nodded. She told us that what made America different was that, thanks to our middle class, most of us would go to college, whether our parents had been there or not. Our middle class was like a launching pad that would enable us to surpass our parents. It made progress possible.
I know I've told this story before, but it seems particularly apt now. Class, a word many Americans shy away from, is suddenly in the national conversation with a frequency and intensity that feels new.
The Occupy movement has something to do with this. Many people criticized Occupiers for their lack of an agenda, the bullet points constituting a recipe for social reform. But by drawing a blunt distinction between American society's 1 percent and everybody else, the movement succeeded in shining a light on a phenomenon most people knew was affecting them, even if they weren't sure how to describe it.
Americans have an underdeveloped vocabulary when it comes to talking about class. One reason for this is the way we tend to teach our country's history. Most of us are taught that history is a story and, in America's case, it's a story about progress. When things change, it's usually because what came before is out-moded, or obsolete. Change, in other words, is usually for the better.
One of the things that supposedly changed in America, was the European class system. We left that in the Old Country, making America "the land of opportunity." You could come here with nothing and make something of yourself.
This didn't come naturally. At first, half this country's economy was based on slavery. The other half exploited child labor and demanded soul-crushing hours in often dangerous conditions for scant pay. Battles were fought to create the kind of working conditions that eventually made America's middle class possible. Getting rid of slavery required a civil war.
These experiences served to confirm the idea that America was a place where class distinctions could be overcome. That's not to say we didn't have problems that needed solving, but we tended to say those problems were due to something besides class — racism, say, or sexism, poor parenting or intoxication. Americans have even blamed themselves for misfortune before entertaining the idea that the game is rigged against them because the game itself is rigged.
Yet that is what class is all about. It's a game where the same people win over and over again, while everybody else muddles through.
But something's happened in America. Household income declined to its lowest level in more than a decade in 2010. The Corporation for Enterprise Development estimates that 43 percent of Americans haven't got enough money to live for three months if they lose their jobs. More of us — 46 million — are living in poverty than ever before. Fifty million have no health insurance; 50 million more are underinsured. Total student loan debt is now over $1 trillion.
This student loan stat is telling. As Mrs. Rider assured my sixth grade class, access to a college education would all but guarantee that boys and girls alike could look forward to not only being part of the middle class, but having lives that would build on the hard work of our parents.
In those days, it hardly mattered what you majored in. English or economics, the degree itself was a kind of ticket that simultaneously defied class distinctions and reinforced them. This was a golden age for the Liberal Arts.
Well, a college degree ain't what it used to be. A BA, in most cases, has about the same cache as a high school diploma in Mrs. Rider's day. Graduate school is almost mandatory, if for no other reason, to put off paying student loans that have outstripped many graduates' earning potential. Now, instead of education, people talk increasingly about training.
Training isn't a very aspirational word. It doesn't suggest possibilities, so much as limitations, albeit with a certain amount of security. It's the kind of thing you talk about, when you'd rather not talk about class.

Between the Victorian style and sheer finish, this top successfully blends classic and modern styles. The lace florals and voluminous sleeves draw the eye to the faux pearls that ring the neckline. A crocheted bib with glitter knit adds to the visual depth. Layer over a cobalt blue camisole for an irresistibly bold finish.

As mentioned in the other review, mine is also with lace sleeves instead of balloon sleeves. It is a beautiful top and well made. Very happy with the purchase!
It's as if this blouse is the cosmic alignment of retro and modern fashion. I was stunned when I received this in the mail because it looks much MUCH better in person than online. The lace and details is fantastic, reminding me of Victorian times but timeless enough to be worn in present day. The only complaint I have is the arms being a little bit "loosey-goosey" but at least I can smuggle candies in them if I wanted to. Or I can be human and have them altered to be more fitting. I read previous reviews that the arms are all lace. The one I received is very similar to the photos. Lucky me? (PS, it took 11 days from the time of purchase to it being delivered at my door-- and that's with express shipping)
This blouse exceeded my expectations. Beautifully beaded around the collar. Perfect for medium and smaller girls. This blouse does not look or feel cheap at all and you won't even have to wear a tank top underneath, it already comes with a thin layer underneath.
The only possible problem was that there was some uncut threads but to me that is no big deal and not even worth mentioning.
I really love the design and the lace, it's romantic and perfect for a date!
But it was different from the photo: the sleeves are completely lace and without baloon and the top has a lined lace decoration instead of being totally lace.
Still beautiful!
Very elegant blouse. Good both as work and casual outfits. Plus very value for money. Worth buying.
I'm not sure if this is the same blouse. The sleeves are straight and completely lace. There was also no beading and the top of the shirt is sheer with lace stripes rather than completely lace. It's still a really pretty blouse though.

How Could Germany Escape the Demographic Trap?
Demographic change is perceived as a threat for wealth rather than a challenge in Germany. The debate on skilled labor shortage is a proof for this view. The paper surveys the most important German studies on skilled labor shortage. Meanwhile, a consensus on solutions has emerged in academia. Increasing the participation rates of elderly, women and facilitating qualified immigration as well as improving productivity are the mainstream recommendations. The paper provides descriptive statistical evidence that temporary agency work could contribute to solve the skilled labor shortage problem via these four channels. However, it is far from clear that productivity increases are the most important and most sustainable way out of the demographic trap. Against this background the government's demographic strategy is assessed. It turns out that the government has not a coherent strategy yet to solve the demographic issues ahead.

LeBron: Playing in front of Obama Tuesday 'an honor'
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls will tip-off their 2015-16 NBA seasons on Tuesday night at the United Center. And there will be one extra special and esteemed guest in the crowd to take in the tilt: President Barack Obama … although the White House has not yet confirmed he'll be in attendance. The President of course is a big-time fan of Chicago sports — not to...

LeBron James calls himself 'King' with Prince William and Kate Middleton
Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended Monday night's game between the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center.

LeBron's Arm On Kate Middleton
LeBron's arm on Kate Middleton is the big news of the morning. Was LeBron out of line for putting his arm around the future QUEEN(!)? What was William going to do about it? Was Kate the least bit turned on? Did Kate mind the best (sweaty) basketball player in the world with his arm around her? So many questions. Of course the British have some sort of issue with the arm over...

LeBron James broke 'protocol' by putting arm around Kate Middleton
A footnote to the warm meeting on Monday at the Barclays Center between Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is that LeBron James blatantly violated rules for interacting with British royalty. The accompanying footnote will say that James will suffer no consequences for his faux pas and indeed, as King James (or just as a non-Brit), he is not subject to anti-touching...

Lebron James criticized for draping sweaty arm around Kate Middleton's shoulder (PHOTO)
LeBron James may be considered The King on an NBA basketball court but when it comes to mixing with the real royals, he might need a lesson in protocol. James got a prized snapshot for his photo album when he posed with Prince William and Kate Middleton after the Cavaliers-Nets game in Brooklyn last night, but he put himself in danger of starting a international conundrum by putting...

Royalty watching 'royalty?' Duchess of Cambridge to attend Nets-Cavs game early December
It's not very often that Kate Middleton is in the United States of America, so the Duchess of Cambridge has decided to make a trip to the Barclays Center to witness "the King" of the NBA in action on her three-day visit to the U.S. The Duchess will be accompanied by her husband, Prince William, on Dec. 8 when the couple heads to Brooklyn to watch the Nets take on LeBron James and...

My two favorite things in one glass: booze and coffee.
the skinny espresso martini - whipped cream vodka, espresso (or strong coffee) & a splash of Bailey's Irish Cream
Wow your guests with Kahlua Espresso Martinis this holiday season. It's the sophisticated yet approachable coffee cocktail that will keep the holiday festivities going. You'll need an espresso machine and shaker. It sounds fancy, but it's just a matter of mixing. Shake 1 part Kahlua, 2 parts Absolut Vodka, and 1 part espresso with plenty of ice, then strain into a small cocktail glass to get rid of the small ice chips. Shake for 10 seconds for optimal frothiness.
Chocolate espresso martini recipe made with instant espresso.
When the seasons change, it's time to give your favorite cocktail a little twist! Transition to our favorite new fall recipe: the Baileys Espresso Martini! Shake 2 oz. Baileys Espresso Creme, 1/4 oz. Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka, 1 shot cold espresso, and add coffee beans for garnish. And while you're at it, be sure to share with your girlfriends!

You can run but you can't hide from who you are inside
And you don't want to confront me.
No! I know your kind.
You've been runnin the same old lies
And keelin over on your mines.
You'll see it's all in a matter of time, you're gonna hafta confront me.

We don't believe loyalty comes for free.
You only get respect when it's given out.

The reality is traditional Scratch N' Win promotions can take weeks of idea generation, design, and back and forth with print shops to generate the perfect card, not to mention the cost! With the high cost of print and large quantities that need to be met by most printers, Scratch N' Win becomes too much of an expense not allowing venues to see the real return on investment.
By placing the Scratch N' Win feature on a wristband you are able to offer the patron an exciting promotion at a reasonable price. Scratch N' Win are an optimal choice for Non-for-Profit Organizations, Stag N' Does, Ad Agencies, Media Entertainment, Corporate Sponsorships, and Retail.

Aegean Odyssey Cabins
- Focus on ancient civilizations and enrichment
- Like-minded passengers are intelligent and curious
- Relaxed dress code with no formal nights
Sponsored Listings
Aegean Odyssey Cabins
While the ship's initial, major reconstruction -- which took more than a year -- dropped the passenger maximum capacity from 570 to 378, changes were largely dictated by the existing hull. Thus, there are 14 cabin categories, located on five of Aegean Odyssey's seven decks.
That number of categories provides for a range of sizes and shapes for the same square footage. For instance, the smallest cabins measure 130 square feet, and there are seven categories this size (listed as Standard or Premium inside or outside cabins).
Next come the Deluxe Outsides, measuring 200 or 215 square feet, and Junior Suites without balconies, measuring 240 square feet. The four largest categories are the only cabins that have balconies, added during the original shipyard makeover. These cabins, designated as Balcony Class, include two categories of Deluxe Staterooms with Balconies (275 square feet, balcony included), four Junior suites (310 square feet with balcony) and two Owner's Suites (550 square feet with balcony).
The Owner's Suites are the only staterooms on the ship that have bedrooms separate from the cabin's living areas. In these staterooms, there are L-shaped couches large enough to seat at least six, fronted by large cocktail tables. There are also full-sized desks with chairs and stand-alone bookcases whose shelves hold both paperbacks -- mainly popular fiction -- and a DVD player. (Oddly, the ship does not stock DVD's to loan, so if you book one of these two suites, you'll need to bring your own movies.)
There are slight variations in the size of the balconies for the deluxe staterooms, but the majority of these teak-floored verandahs measures about 4.5 feet by 9 feet. They hold two sturdy patio chairs, dark wood with webbed seats and back, plus a matching cocktail table less than two feet square.
The 18 newer outside cabins on Lido Deck (in service since March 6, 2013) include 12 deluxe staterooms (Category E) and six premium cabins (Category G). These were built to address passenger demand for outside cabins. Decor and amenities are indistinguishable from the same class of cabin in other areas of the ship. However, take note that these rooms are not flush with the side of the ship. Outside their windows, there are several feet of passenger-accessible decking, wide enough for walkers, but not for deck chairs. Beyond that, there is a normal ship's railing in front of the new deluxe cabins, while the new premium cabins face a steel wind-guard with large plate-glass windows in it.
Cabins have two twin beds, a double or a queen. In some twin cabins, the beds can be converted to one large bed. Typically, cabin categories A to F have convertible beds, and categories G to M do not. The mattresses are marvelously comfortable, and the white duvets are just right if the air-conditioning seems too cool during the night. Speaking of air-conditioning, it is adjusted by turning a knob on ceiling-mounted vents to regulate the amount of air flow.
There is either a three-drawer chest between the twins, or nightstands with shelves and two drawers on either side of the larger beds. The nightstands have table lamps, and there are wall switches for the ceiling lights by each bed's headboard -- a variety of handsome geometric prints on a padded frame.
Every cabin has a bureau that contains a mini-fridge; in Balcony Class, the fridge is stocked with soft drinks, and bottled water is also complimentary. Each Balcony Class cabin is provided with a complimentary bottle of Champagne upon check-in. Other cabin classes are initially stocked with a liter of bottled water, but there is a $2.50 charge for additional bottles.
Larger rooms have three tall side-by-side wardrobes; smaller cabins have two of these, and mirrors cover the doors. The suites have walk-in closets. Each cabin's electronic safe is in the closet or wardrobe.
The suites and staterooms with balconies have sitting areas with two- or three-cushion love seats, plus fabric-covered tub chairs and glass-topped cocktail tables. The six smallest cabin categories have just tub chairs or merely ottomans.
There are also differences in the bathrooms. The six largest cabin categories all boast bathtubs with hand-held shower heads; all other cabins have just showers. But, in the larger of these staterooms, the showers have glass doors; the smaller ones have just a curtain and a lip on the floor to keep the water close to the drain.
Amenities in the Balcony Class cabins are Molton Brown of London and include shower gel, shampoo, a round bar of soap and moisturizer, plus a soft scrubbing pad for the gel. Other cabins have products with the brand name Glam, but without the scrubbing pad.
Bathrooms each have a hair dryer and a makeup/shaving mirror.
The color scheme in all the cabins is nearly identical: ash-colored wood for the furniture, sand-colored walls, aquamarine fabric on the tub chairs, yellow on the ottomans, seafoam green on the loveseats, accents of rich green and blue. There is a single modern print on the wall of each cabin.
All cabins have flat-screen televisions, but the Owner's Suites each have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The TV's are not interactive but have the following channels: CNBC, BBC, CNN, Bloomberg, NHK World and Al Jazeera. There are also four music-only channels and four movie channels, each showing a different film, usually four times each day. The selections -- chosen by crewmembers -- range from 1950's classics to movies released in the past year. Often, they reflect the cruise's destinations or historical theme. Onboard lectures are also broadcast the day following their live presentation.
Electricity is 220 volts (European voltage), and sockets are designed for two-pin European plugs. A limited number of adapters (but not converters) are available from the purser's office. As a wired couple traveling with multiple devices that needed charging, we found the number of outlets lacking -- until we unplugged the little built-in flashlights above our nightstands to free up two more sockets.
Aegean Odyssey is unusual for a ship so small in that it has 26 dedicated single cabins in a variety of categories (four inside, 20 outside and two balcony cabins) -- and the ship is quite popular with singles, according to managing director Yellow. There is also one standard outside cabin, with porthole, for passengers with disabilities. Note that any wheelchairs onboard should be collapsible and not exceed 26 inches in width.
Our cabin decor was in excellent condition, and we noticed that even a tiny scuff we made on the wall while donning hiking boots had been erased when we next returned to the cabin. Service from our Filipino steward was kind and efficient, though the ship doesn't go in for frippery like towel animals.

Would You Hold It Against Me?
If I could make a single wish, and believe it would come true
That all I have to really say, Is I`m in love with you
If I could hold you in my arms, and never let you go

If I could promise you the world, the moon and stars above
bring you flowers everyday, with a note to prove my love

I don't know what nsEditorParserObserver is supposed to do but the HTML5 parser doesn't support notifying it.
Since failure to notify this observer hasn't been noticed as a problem in over a year, let's remove this mystery observer.
It used to stop you editing frameset documents. The caller was rewritten 10 years ago but nobody noticed that the replacement code didn't use it...
[Removal is probably build system changes only, no C++ knowledge needed.]
Created attachment 604814 [details] [diff] [review]
Bug 729041: Patch-1
Here's the patch file. There is no dependency on the the Makefile either, therefore, simply require the use of 'hg remove ...'
Do you have mercurial push access? Should this be now treated as [checkin-needed]?
Hello Henri, I do not have push access. Shall I set the [checkin-needed] flag as you have stated above?
(In reply to Charles Chan from comment #5)
> Hello Henri, I do not have push access. Shall I set the [checkin-needed]
> flag as you have stated above?
Normally the next step would have been adding "checkin-needed" to the keyword field. However, knowing that you would have done it next, I went ahead and treated this bug as if it had been marked checkin-needed already.
That is, I landed the patch to inbound:
(I tweaked the commit message to include ". r=hsivonen." and changed the separator punctuation after the bug number to use the more common convention.)
Thank you.
(This bug will be marked FIXED once mozilla-inbound is merged into mozilla-central.)
Thanks! Henri.

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.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
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: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In 2009, we found the Form 1098-T Tuition Statement educational institutions provided to students was confusing to taxpayers and not useful for IRS enforcement. Educational institutions could report either the amount of payments received or the amount billed on the Form 1098-T. However, the amount billed may not account for scholarships or grants, which could overstate the amount that can be claimed as a credit. Further, IRS officials indicated that the form was not useful for enforcement efforts for the same reason. Therefore, we recommended IRS revise the Form 1098-T to improve the usefulness of information on qualifying education expenses. We highlighted this issue again in our 2011 report identifying fragmentation, overlap, and duplication (DOF) among federal programs and opportunities for cost savings and revenue enhancement and we reiterated this issue each year thereafter. IRS stated that legislative changes would be needed to revise the Form 1098-T to show the amount paid. Using language very similar to that in our 2009 report, the Administration proposed such changes to Congress in the Department of the Treasury's General Explanations of the Administration's Revenue Proposals for fiscal years 2014, 2015, and 2016. In December 2015, Congress enacted a requirement that educational institutions report only the aggregate amount of qualified tuition and related expenses actually paid to the educational institution during the calendar year (Section 212 of division Q of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016-Public Law 114-113). In January 2016, we found IRS had revised the Form 1098-T consistent with this requirement
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.
