STATEMENT SHOWS IRS TO GET LEANER MEANER

Statement shows IRS to get leaner meaner. At the end of a long term as Commissioner of the IRS, Charles Rettig gave some insights as to the future of the IRS, its goals, and how they plan to pivot to a leaner, with better computers, more aggressive agency, able to tackle the demands put on it in recent years. "As our workforce has faced unprecedented challenges, they have continued the essential day to day work of the agency. This has included delivering two extended tax filing seasons, in 2020 and 2021. It also includes our ongoing efforts to improve service to taxpayers. I have told our employees that we cannot lose sight of the need to think about taxpayers and how to work with them--every day and in every interaction. The value of IRS services must be measured through the eyes of the taxpayer. Providing high quality, personalized service is a critical component in helping taxpayers understand and comply with their filing and reporting obligations. This is an area where the agency needs to do more, and will able to do more, with the funding provided by Congress." Statement shows IRS to get leaner meaner.

To further improve service and our mission, one of my highest priorities as Commissioner has been to ensure the agency's information technology infrastructure remains on a path toward modernization. Modernization is vital to all our core functions. Towards that end we released the IRS Integrated Modernization Business Plan in 2019. With this plan to guide us, the agency is continuing to upgrade its IT infrastructure and to develop sustainable solutions to improve the taxpayer experience.
