Nothing extra-legal about the collection process. The actions of some collection agents were extreme and that division got a shorter leash. (Should tax collection revenues decline precipitiously the leash will be let out. Congress has done that in the past as well.) You'll find the collection process is very much intact and nearly identical as prior to the hearings. What you have now is a kinder, gentler IRS somewhat more willing to work with the taxpayer before resorting to lien/levy/seizure. But, note in CB's post if collection is in jeopardy IRS can always skip that "work with the taxpayer" bit. Yep, nothing has change really. It's all perception. The taxman always gets paid.
