Article Abstract:

This article concerns taxpayer relief included in the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 which allows taxpayers to designate application of tax deposit penalties against their liabilities.

Included is a discussion of automated techniques which may aid taxpayers in making favorable designations.
