Some of the issues we reviewed include:  \n■ In 2016, the IRS performed a systemic Individual Shared Responsibility Payment (ISRP)“recovery” to abate certain clearly identifiable ISRP overpayments;  \n■ Premium Tax Credit (PTC) cases rose to become the fourth highest category of TAS case receipts during fiscal year (FY) 2016;3  \n■ Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) recipients who incorrectly filed Form 1040-EZ, Income Tax Return for Single and Joint Filers With No Dependent, experienced delays in processing their returns;  \n■ The IRS has developed procedures to address “silent returns”(i.e., returns that do not have the minimum essential coverage (MEC) checkbox marked; Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions ; or an amount for the ISRP);  \n1 See Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR), [www.TaxpayerAdvocate.irs.gov/taxpayer-rights.
