Records of Tax Claim
Settlements Available
For Public Use Soon
-. .'r'-'' - By FRANK O'BRIEN- "i -
WASHINGTON () Some time next week a long-secret area of
the government's dealing with the publics-settlement of tax claims by
compromise will become open to the public.
An executive order from President Truman last Wednesday au
thorized the Bureau of Internal Revenue to open its tax compromise
files a step long sought by newspapers, news agencis and some leg
islators, particularly Sen. Williams j --
(R-Del) . . . . - - - In xvt .

Against Giving
Power to GOP
The idea behind the pressure
was that most people have to pay
their taxes in full, and that when
.a taxpayer is allowed to get off
with paying pnly part of what he
owes, the rest of the taxpayers
should be told how and why.
A number of such compromises
have come to light recently, most
of them unearthed by Williams
and other congressional investiga
tors. Questions Asked
And taxpayers have been asking
questions about the whole situa
tion, among them:
U What is, and what is not, a
compromise tax settlement? i
2. Who can get a compromise
settlement, and how is it done?
3. What cases does Truman's
order cover-past-as well as cur
rent settlements?.
. 4. Just how will the bureau
make public accepted' settlements?
5. To whom will the opened files
be available?
Answers Given
Here are the answers, from in
ternal revenue commissioner John
B. Dunlap and other bureau offi
cials: r
1. A compromise settlement Is
one settled for less than the tax
assessed because:
A. The taxpayer cannot, for
some reason, pay the full taxes he
owes, and admits he owes.
B. The taxpayer did not owe all
he was assessed. .
C The case is settled on the
basis of an "offer in compromise"
from the taxpayer an offer to pay
less than he is assessed.
2. Anyone can get a compromise
settlement who is broke or in dif
ficulty and cannot pay his taxes.
Congress itself provided the com
promise as an escape valve.
3. The bureau has interpreted
the order opening compromise tax
settlements as applying to all cases
settled from the date of the order
Aug. 20, 1952. That means the
thousands of cases already settled
by compromise remain closed un
less the Bureau makes some of
them public on its own initiative.
This has been done when some of
them became involved in public
controversy.
