To the Editor:Re “How to Collect Unpaid Taxes” (editorial, March 21):Your editorial on the burgeoning federal unpaid tax debt hit the right points. The Collection Division and the Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service have been understaffed and underfunded for decades. Over 24 million tax returns from 2019 and 2020 have not been processed. The three stimulus distributions were the responsibility of the I.R.S., without any thought to the impact on other already struggling programs. It is past time to throw needed resources to the Internal Revenue Service.
