F Federal Taxes Receivable, Net and Due to Treasury
Federal taxes receivable, net and the corresponding liability, due to Treasury, are not accrued until
related tax returns are filed or assessments are made by the IRS and agreed to by either the taxpayer or
the court Accruals are made to reflect penalties and interest on taxes receivable through the balance
sheet date
Taxes receivable consist of unpaid assessments (taxes and associated penalties and interest) due from
taxpayers The existence of a receivable is supported by a taxpayer agreement, such as filing of a tax
return without sufficient payment, or a court ruling in favor of the IRS The allowance reflects an
estimate of the portion of total taxes receivable deemed to be uncollectible
Compliance assessments are unpaid assessments which neither the taxpayer nor a court has affirmed
the taxpayer owes to the Federal government Examples include assessments resulting from an IRS
audit or examination in which the taxpayer does not agree with the results Write-offs consist of
unpaid assessments for which the IRS does not expect further collections due to factors such as
taxpayers’ bankruptcy, insolvency, or death Compliance assessments and write-offs are not reported
on the balance sheet Statutory provisions require the accounts to be maintained until the statute for
collection expires
Tax Assessments
Under the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) Section 6201, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized
and required to make inquiries, determinations, and assessments of all taxes imposed and accruing
under any internal revenue law which have not been duly paid including interest, additions to the tax,
and assessable penalties The Secretary has delegated this authority to the Commissioner of the IRS
Unpaid assessments result from taxpayers filing returns without sufficient payments and from the
enforcement programs of the IRS, such as examination, under-reporter, substitute for return, and
combined annual wage reporting
