The IRS unveiled its Inflation Reduction Act Strategic Operation Plan on Thursday aimed at improving taxpayers’ engagement with the agency.
In the 150-page document,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel Werfel outlines the plan’s five
objectives that the agency aims to accomplish through various
initiatives and projects.
- The IRS was allocated $80B from the climate, healthcare, and tax legislation that President Biden signed last year.
- The plan aims to improve services to help taxpayers meet their obligations and receive the tax incentives they are eligible for.
- It
aims to resolve taxpayer issues when they arise and focus expanded
enforcement on taxpayers with complex tax filings and high-dollar
noncompliance to address the tax gap.
- The agency plans to hire about 30,000 new staff members over two years.
- It
aims to deliver cutting-edge technology, data, and analytics to operate
more effectively and attract, retain, and empower a highly-skilled,
diverse workforce.
- The agency aims to develop a culture that is better equipped to deliver results for taxpayers.
