Information Quality Guidelines - Purpose

 

This guidance should be used to ensure and maximize the quality of disseminated information. The Internal Revenue Service’s guidelines are based on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines published in the Federal Register on September 28, 2001, January 3, 2002, and February 22, 2002. These guidelines, as the name suggests, are in the nature of guidance. They are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legally binding regulations or mandates.  They are not legally enforceable and do not create any legal rights or impose any legally binding requirements or obligations on the agency.  Nothing in these guidelines affects any otherwise available judicial review of agency action.
