Taxpayer Advocate starts blog

January 31, 2012

The TaxProf and Peter Pappas note that Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate, has a blog.

Ms. Olson has done good work pointing out the absurdity complexity of the tax law and the foolish ways in which the rules are enacted. Her record is marred by her advocacy of increased preparer regulation, which the IRS is botching with gusto.

So far she has made two posts since the blog opened on January 11. That's one more than Clarissa Potter has managed since she started Academically Taxing, one of the early tax blogs, in 2004, but she's a long way short of the TaxProf's productivity.
