According to Accounting Today, the IRS plans to do outreach through both traditional media and social media. The agency also stated, “We anticipate requests for face-to-face events will increase 25 to 30 percent, particularly after more published legal guidance comes out in the weeks and months ahead."
In addition, the IRS plans to keep on consolidating its processing centers in response to continued increases in electronic filing. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released a new report on Monday, announcing plans to consolidate tax processing centers from five to two by the end of fiscal year 2024 as a result of the continued decreases in paper-filed tax returns. According to the report, the IRS anticipates using the projected five-year cost savings of about $266 million to focus on taxpayer service, tax enforcement and information technology.
