H.R. 7844 · 117th Congress
Rural IRS Accountability Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Rural IRS Accountability Act
This bill changes the time period for sending notices of delinquency to taxpayers from annually to quarterly. It also revises the period for bringing civil actions for unauthorized tax collection practices.
The bill provides that tax payments made through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System of the Department of the Treasury that are required to be made within a prescribed period or on or before a prescribed date shall be treated as made on the last day of either such prescribed period or on such prescribed date, thus making the mailbox rule (also known as the posting rule) applicable to such payments. Such rule provides that payments are considered made on the date they are postmarked.
The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to study and report on tax filing efforts in rural areas.
