Abstract: As part of its overall compliance strategy, the Office of Indian Tribal Governments (ITG) routinely performs compliance checks. A compliance check involves checking entities current records for adherence to filing and reporting requirements, regulations, correctness and understanding of federal tax obligations. Form 13797 will be provided to tribes who elect to perform a self compliance check on any or all of their entities. This is a voluntary program and the entry is not penalized for non- completion of forms and withdrawal from the program. Upon completion, the information will be used by the Tribe and ITG to develop training needs, compliance strategies, and corrective actions.
