Special interest sought to gain fees from tax industry
One special interest group in Alabama attempted to write their own legislation. If not for NITPA the special interest would have controlled the entire industry and been able to use proceeds from the licensing fees paid by private tax businesses to help them grown their own federally funded tax operations. NITPA successfully defeated the Senate Bill in the house ending one of the most fraudulent industry attacks in modern day history.
