Committee Urges Congress And IRS To Improve Taxpayer Experience And Upgrade Technology

The IRS Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) has released its 2023 Annual Report to Congress. The report looks at e-filing practices and data security and makes recommendations to both Congress and the IRS that focus on electronic tax administration and cybersecurity.

Background

ETAAC was formed and authorized under the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98). As part of RRA 98, ETAAC is required to report to Congress on issues related to electronic tax administration, such as taxpayer experience, identity theft, and refund fraud. ETAAC also contributes to the development of the IRS Strategic Operating Plan.
