New 5 Year Plan Issued by IRS


The IRS recently issued a new five year strategic plan. The purpose of the plan is to list goals that could help improve taxpayer services and tax administration. The plan is also designed to guide the programs and overall operations of the IRS and to meet the changing needs of modern day taxpayers.

The plan was developed both among IRS officials and with the help of external agencies too. The plan outlines six unique goals for the IRS.   


These goals include the following:

l  Enabling all taxpayers to meet their tax obligations by adding and enhancing tools and general support services
l  Protecting the integrity of the tax system by encouraging compliance and working harder to uncover noncompliance
l  Collaborating with external partners to improve tax administration
l  Cultivating a better, stronger, more diverse workforce
l  Advancing data to the point where it is the IRS’ most effective resource
l  Improving IRS operations overall

This new plan should bring about many positive changes for the IRS and how it interacts with people. People are encouraged to remember that under this plan and all IRS plans, they still have rights when interacting with the IRS.

If you would like more information on what your rights are, how to deal with the IRS, or on if and how this new plan will affect you, don’t hesitate to speak with a tax professional.
