I have posted a brief report on the most recent taxpayer survey released by the IRS Oversight Board as a guest blogger on Prawfsblawg. The good news is that a huge majority of American taxpayers believe that complying with tax laws is important. The even better news is that the most important reason is not because of penalties or fear of being audited, but because of their sense of personal integrity. You can read the full posting by clicking on the Prawfsblawg link above and scrolling through the February 22 entries.
