Question

The responsibility to prove entries, deductions, and statements made on your tax returns is known as the burden of proof. One must be able to prove certain elements of expenses in order to deduct them. The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 shifted the burden of proof to the IRS in civil tax matters. This act, however, does not relieve the taxpayer of the need to keep proper records.
Review the site The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, which describes the restructuring of the IRS to a customer service organization. Then, answer this question: Why would the IRS bear the burden of proof yet require the taxpayer to keep careful records?
In response to your peers, assess this contradiction with your classmates.

Response to the Question
The statement you provided is accurate in stating that the burden of proof in civil tax matters was shifted to the IRS by the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. This means that, in certain situations, the IRS is responsible for proving that a taxpayer's tax return is incorrect rather than the taxpayer having to prove its accuracy. However, this shift in the burden of proof does not relieve the taxpayer of the need to keep proper records (Olson, 2022).
